Hello! My name is Logan Hernandez. I am a junior at Northern Arizona Univeristy with a major in English and a minor in Journalism. My dream is to one day be a published author but I first want to gain more experience in the editing/publishing world.

Skills:

  • Research
  • Interpersonal
  • Teamwork
  • Leadership/ Management
  • WordPress
  • Editing
  • Familiar with multiple styles of writing

Abilities:

  • Adaptability
  • Resilience in a time of need
  • Readability Principals
  • Reporting/Interviews
  • Basic understanding of computers

Projects

I write a lot of creative short stories that I am looking to get published in a local literary magazine, so this is my main goal for the near future in terms of projects. Possible future projects I wish to complete include a fiction novel that is published and sold in stores.

Repair Experience

The repair experience that I have most of is repairing websites for the NAU website. I work as a Web Support Apprentice for NAU ITS where I train in WordPress to stay up to standard regarding how the NAU website looks. We go through numerous amounts of training to learn how to code certain elements into webpages such as images, themes, and widgets (buttons, tabs, etc.) in order to repair/revise the website. We also help navigate other NAU users on how to access training and oversee this training before we can approve them to become NAU webiste users. I also have a lot of experience with "repairs" through my writing. I have learned many forms of writing through my years of upper education (high school and college) such as:

  • Article writing
  • Research-based writing
  • Creative writing (nonfiction & fiction)
  • Technical writing
  • Editing
  • Journaling
  • and many more!

Learning these many forms of writing has allowed me to gain experience on how to edit no matter the writing style and to me counts as making literary "repairs".

How does this project relate to me?

I believe the experience I will gain from this project will allow me to further improve my teamwork skills in a professional setting. Working as a group on large repair assignments will allow me to practice the teambuilding skills that I have learned my entire academic career and will allow me to prepare for teamwork in a professional setting after college. Additionally, I believe these projects would help me gain the experience that I need in order to pursue a job in professional writing (such as instruction writing).

Hobbies

Reading, writing mostly fiction short stories, and playing RPGs such as God of War and the Spiderman series. Also love going to museums, especially based around WWII.

Here is a museum I have recently visited, The 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City. It tells the history of the Oklahoma-based infantry division that ran from 1920-1968 and fought in wars like WW2 and the Vietnam War.
