Day 1- Fresh Face Among Fresh Faces


      Today is my first day at Catholic Relief Services in Baltimore, MD. My name is Monae Dewitt but you can call me Moe (or flower, hence flower in the city). I'll get to why I call myself flower in a bit. Anyway, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a rising senior at Juniata College, studying digital media and communications. I am originally a Baltimore City Native. I am striving to become a film producer/ editor. I am at a loss for words as to how my life's journey has been for me to make it thus far! In my short 21 years of life I can say I am living the good life, in spite of everything I may have gone through. Enough about my background. Let's dig into my very first day at catholic relief services (and how I got here).
   
     I was told to arrive at the Baltimore office at 9am. I got a little lost getting to work (I have not lived in Baltimore in 3 yrs) but I managed to get there on time. There were a few mishaps but overall it has been a good day. I have meet some of he employees here and they all seem really nice and friendly. I feel like I can fit in at Catholic Relief Services. I bet you may be wondering what is this place I am referring to. This place helps people all over the world that are in poverty without discrimination of race, ethnicity, religion, etc. I am the family and friends intern working in the video production department as well as with the marketing department to help tell the stories of those around the globe that we don't get to have encounters with everyday. Seems fairly straight forward.


    So far I have been in two meetings going over video specifications and meeting the people behind them. At Juniata College, I have spent the last three years working at the Digital Media Studio so this is very similar to my job at JC. They tell me I will be producing and editing and holding a lot of different positions here. I have no idea what to expect but I am excited! I hope you are excited too!  I have another meeting so I will be back soon!
