Vanessa Ochavillo is a journalist whose work in recent years has appeared in numerous San Francisco Bay Area outlets. She joined Vibe in 2009, eventually assuming the roles of project editor, assistant editor and editor. She currently works as a staff writer at Half Moon Bay Review in California. Below is her first person account of her Vibe experience.
A desire to write seemed like a good enough reason to contact Vibe in 2008. The program was mid-cycle, meaning my chances were slim at snagging a spot on what was likely a full team of high school interns.

Government agencies, volunteers to clean the island Saturday
The Guam Earth Month islandwide beautification cleanup starts at 6:30 a.m. Saturday.
Residents who want to participate in one of the organized site cleanups and who aren t already connected with one the participating groups, are asked to call the governor’s office at 473-1162 for locations and contact information.
If you don’t call in advance, you still can show up at a cleanup site, according to the governor’s office, and should find the person in charge of that site to receive supplies and instructions.
Volunteers will be provided with gloves and trash bags and are asked to bring their own facemasks, although some sites will have masks for volunteers who don’t have one.
