Joshua Mefford

I am a passionate reader who also happens to write. I am skillful in research, composition, as well as technical applications. My BAs in English and Classical Studies, as well as my minor in game design, reflect my skill set, and the ways I have applied it since graduating has allowed it to grow even more.

• I served as an intern for the Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis creative writing program. My responsibilities included:
  - Copywriting
  - Communication
  - Event planning
  - Social media management
• Following my college graduation, I began working as a Gaming Features Writer with Screen Rant. I organized my work and communicated with colleagues via the CRMs Slack and Asana. My responsibilities included:
  - Researching and writing clear, succinct articles
  - Utilizing marketing and public relation tools like SEO and SMO to increase article visibility
  - Editing photos for use in title images and TLDRs
  - What I am most proud of from working this position is that many of my articles were widely viewed, with one even reaching an audience of over one hundred thousand.
• Since leaving Screen Rant I have been working as a licensed Pharmacy Technician at CVS. My responsibilities include:
  - Helping patients understand and apply their insurance to their medications.
  - Filling and selling medicine to patients in an accurate and timely manner.
  - Working with a team of Pharmacists and other technicians in a way ensures we are as efficient as possible.
   

I graduated from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis in the Spring of 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in English, a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies, and a Minor in Game Design. My GPA was a 3.88 out of 4 and I was on the Dean's list every semester I attended.
