Yeah, I'm the new girl

Hi, I'm Bridget Aymar, the new intern here at Axiom. Although I'm struggling to avoid the clichés that often arise in writing one's own bio, let's address the unavoidable first: I am a recent University of Minnesota grad, with a degree in strategic communication. I have done a lot of work with Uptown Association, the producers of The Uptown Art Fair, in the past, but my professional experience has been fairly schizophrenic. I recently bought a house in north Minneapolis, but I grew up in New Brighton, a suburb about fifteen minutes north of the cities.

Beyond my resumé, I am happy as long as I get to write, be creative and work with others that like to do the same. I pay the bills off the spoils of pizza and beer, waiting tables at Old Chicago in Uptown. I remain on the steering committee of the art fair coordinating volunteers and taking on miscellaneous projects for other aspects of the event. Due to the time I spent as a copy editor at The Minnesota Daily, I am an AP-style stickler: I breathed a sigh of relief when "Web site," became "website," phew.

When I'm not writing, volunteering or wearing an apron, I like to spend time with friends and family. I love to go boating on Long Lake, throw the frisbee to my dog Sancho, watch movies and burn through as many books as possible on my new Amazon Kindle. I'm also getting pretty good at cooking, now that I have a kitchen larger than a postage stamp, and am looking forward to learning how to start a garden. (Hint, hint, Axiom home and garden clients who have products that need to be put to the test.)

As an intern at Axiom, I'm looking forward to writing blog posts, pitching stories, learning more about social media and enjoying margarita Fridays.
