DANI WALPOLE

As a Digital Media Production graduate from the State University of New York at New Paltz and a photo intern at Reader's Digest, I was able to fine-tune my skills as a director, producer, and lead editor. Most recently, I conceptualized and directed the documentary "Lovejoy to the Rescue," which wrapped the week that coronavirus shut down the U.S.

In addition to completing my dual degree in English: Creative Writing at New Paltz, in the last two years I have been an Editorial Intern, contributor and SEO writer for Reader's Digest, an Arts and Entertainment writer and copyeditor at the New Paltz Oracle, and a staff editor and social media strategist for The Teller Magazine. I love stories that require a lot of research and lead me down JSTOR rabbit-holes. I enjoy writing profiles, reviewing literature and entertainment, and reporting on all things interesting. In my free time, I write fiction. 

As an FM certified DJ and audio enthusiast, I spent most of my college years inside of a radio station. In addition to having a weekly music show at WFNP the Edge, I learned a lot about on-air etiquette and regional politics every weeknight as the Local News Director, and honed my PR skills as the Public Affairs and Promotions Director. At Townsquare Media in Poughkeepsie, I worked as a Promotions Intern. In this role I worked live events, produced drops and sweeps, and earned my chops in Adobe Audition.
