Teagan Hines, a recent Pentucket Regional Middle-High School graduate, this week started a summer news internship at WHAV.
Hines, of Groveland, will conduct interviews, report and write stories and edit press releases for use on-air and online.
“I’m still new to this field, so I’m looking forward to learning all about what goes on in a newsroom and radio station,” says Hines.
Hines, who grew up in Lynn and moved to Groveland in 2016, attended Dr. Elmer S. Bagnall School in her youth, where she found a passion for writing at a young age. She further nurtured her writing capabilities by taking AP English and Literature during her junior and senior years of high school.
Hines notes her passion for journalism came later when she became a copy editor for Pentucket’s student-run newspaper, The Pentucket Profile. She adds she is excited to learn all there is to know about working at WHAV and further strengthen her skills in the journalism field.
Hines also is employed at Namaste Spa Mind Body & Soul, in Danvers, as a social media coordinator. She previously worked at Ultimate Perk Coffee Company, in Groveland, as a barista.
She says working in two different customer service settings taught her how to interact with people and engage in meaningful conversations, and she hopes to do the same with the Greater Haverhill community for WHAV.
In her free time, Hines enjoys reading, writing, spending time with friends and family and playing with her two cats.
