Internship at The Mighty

Karina wears a red The Mighty Shirt and a blue flower in her short, brown hair. She is smiling.

During September 2018, I had the great pleasure to work as a temporary staff member for The Mighty, the largest online magazine for people living with chronic illnesses and disabilities. The Mighty shares articles written by authors that have an illness and/or disability but also provides original news pieces, and awareness/educational videos created by staff members, and supports their community through forums and events.

I was part of the editorial team working on contributors articles. Additionally, I wrote my own pieces, supported the video department, and was responsible for the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome newsletter.

Interested in reading parts of my work?
