11 Reasons Why The BuzzFeed Editorial Photo Department Should Hire Me As A Photo Editor

BuzzFeed is looking for a new Photo Editor for its editorial photo department and I think I'm a perfect fit for the position. Here's why:

1. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts

FYI, apparently Photography & Imaging (my department) is a sub-department of the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television (surprise!)

2. I'm awesome at Photoshop

I made this for a co-worker's bday cake. It was a surprise and he loved it.

3. But for real...I'm good at Photoshop

"Mirror, Mirror" a project I did at NYU.

4. I'm a team player

We had to work together to keep her up!

(sometimes teamwork isn't pretty)

5. I play by the rules

I'm an HR dream!

6. But I know how to have fun too!

Aerial yoga...you should try it!

7. My friends and I built a darkroom in my bathroom

It really worked!

8. I'm not afraid to walk around Times Square looking like an idiot...in the name of art!

9. I did that "hashtag" thing before Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake did

The Jimmy Fallon/ Justin Timberlake bit aired on September 25, 2013 #pioneer

10. I'm so into pop culture that my coworkers built me a shrine to Beyonce!

Shh...don't tell Pepsi that we offered Bey a Diet Coke

11. I'm obsessed with BuzzFeed...I laughed so hard reading the "42 people you won't believe actually exist" article that all of my coworkers came out of their offices to find out why I was crying.

But for real...

I truly think I'm the perfect fit for the Photo Editor position in the editorial photo department. I've been doing photography for the last 11 years and have mastered both film and digital photography. I've had internships at Saturday Night Live, various magazines and production companies and currently work as a coordinator in the Sony Music Creative Group.

It would be an honor and a privilege to be a member of the BuzzFeed team.
