I felt like the longer we talked, the more he kind of started to open up. He was guarded at first because he had been contacted quite a bit by local media who wanted to do a story about the controversy at his property. So I took a step back and said to myself, “Alright, what is this person going to be looking for? What’s going on in his mind?” But I felt like the angle we took on the story was more nuanced and more about just what he was trying to do there. We really tried to get to know him as a person. So, yeah, it was kind of my first real-world experience working with an editor. I had peers who edited my other stories that I had written, but to be in this kind of setting and also to see your experience and just how you would make certain edits and it completely changed and evolved the story. I remember thinking, and I said this to you at the time, “Oh, wow. Just rewriting that one line makes such a difference.” And, as I mentioned earlier, the thing I really do love about journalism is the team effort, the collaboration. And how somebody’s perspective who may not have been at the interview can take what you wrote and evolve it to the next level. For me, it really connected me to the community in a big way for the first time. I was a part of it in a way that had not been before. It was such an interesting to have people say, “Hey, Marisa, I read your article in SLO LIFE.” It was such a good feeling. I think I told you this before, but I still have that story framed as my first published article. And, if I remember, you left for Spain immediately after your internship. That’s right, yes. Good memory. It was an amazing experience. It tied in with my Spanish minor, of course, getting to actually apply the language there. I lived with a host family, really one lady, and she solely spoke Spanish. I was completely immersed in the culture. And, it’s an interesting side note that I did not realize at the time, but I was in southern Spain, Granada, which is in the Andalusia Region, the number one region for olive oil production worldwide. I mean, you would drive to other cities and the roads are just lined with olive trees and they’re beautiful and you’re just like, “Wow, it’s just like miles and miles and miles.” I had no idea. Of course, olive oil is a huge part of the cuisine there. So, when I was there it became a staple in every meal. But, beyond that, I didn’t have any special interest in going to taste olive oil at the time other than just soaking in the beauty of the country and all those trees. What happened when you returned? So, I decided I didn’t want to leave the area as many of us do. My only other job I had held was at California Pizza Kitchen in town. So, I started to evaluate my options. I’d given up wanting to move to a big city. I decided that I didn’t want to do that, so there goes People magazine editing. And, so, I started to look at the marketing and public relations side of things. I had taken some courses >> 42 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | APR/MAY 2020
