Editor-in-Chief: Kaeli Britt

Hi, my name is Kaeli Britt, the Editor-in-Chief for Living Large Las Vegas Magazine. As the Editor-in-Chief, I am the main creative and have control of the design portion of making the magazine. So, I’m in charge of designing the entire magazine! I design everything from pages for stories to advertisements and any other design elements related to the magazine.

Alongside this, I am also a current freshman majoring in Journalism, visual commumications, and minoring in Political Science at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). I’m super excited to be starting my second year as an ofcial Journalism major in the upcoming fall! Up at UNR, I’m also an Honors student and am involved in multiple on-campus activities. Including, being a volunteer contributor to our student-run magazine, Insight Magazine, being part of a frst generation college student coalition, First in the Pack, and even interned for our student government’s Diversity and Inclusion Department this past year.

You’re probably thinking one of the two things if not both: 1) How is she managing both school and being an Editor-in-Chief ? 2) How is she doing all this as only a freshman in college?

To answer those questions, if you went to college, you know how much work it is. Even as an undergraduate student. Now throw in Honors courses and some extracurricular activities. With all that, it’s pretty safe to say that I have a packed schedule. Since high school, I’ve been involved in similar programs and quickly learned the importance of time management and how to structure my days to ft in everything that I need to get done throughout the week. My planner is what keeps me organized on a daily basis, no matter how busy or dead my days and weeks consist of. My days and weeks are planned in explicit, intricate details and my planner includes everything from meetings to due dates and homework assignments to work deadlines.

Having the opportunity to get ahead and work in the feld that I eventually plan on pursing after I graduate is something that I’m so grateful for. Being entrusted with such a skill-heavy and task-oriented position at my age isn’t somethign that’s common in the journalism feld, where experience is something that’s necessary, not optional. With this on my belt so early in my career experience, I have the time to learn and grow outside of school and incorporate ideas and techniques I’m learning in class into the magazine to make it more successful. It also shows that I have the capabilities to manage my time between school and work and balance both while not compromising on my grades in school or the quality of work I make - something I highly pride myself on.
