I had the privilege of interviewing Michigan Department of Education chief of staff, Wendy Larvick to ask about her visit to the school this fall and why the department chose to come learn more about our programs. It allowed me to try out some of the new equipment we had just bought and allowed me to try out a new way of interviewing. Over the course of my time on staff I have been able to interview people like Mrs. Larvick, members of the band Half the Animal and motivational speaker Mike Smith. My staff and I have also covered the press for the Jostens Renaissance Mike Smith Live event at the Michigan State Breslin Center two years in a row.
