Welcome to Ben Lerchin’s home page.
I am currently a full-time student at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, but have lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a wide range of interests, and am currently planning to complete a major in Environmental Economics. Outside of the classroom, I have been doing freelance web development for about six years and in the past four I have learned to love the art of photography. I am looking forward towards a future in the field of journalism, wherever that may take me. I have grown up getting my news from the web, and I am interested in finding new ways to connect people with the world around them, both thorough established media outlets and independent online media. I am currently Production Manager of the Whitman College Pioneer, a paper which focuses primarily on print distribution, but which I hope to see evolve in to a more significant online resource for the community over the course of my college years. I think my collection of technical skills, my strong work ethic, and my passion for art make me uniquely suited to the journalism profession. Please see my resume for a more detailed account of my skills and achievements.
Thanks for visiting,
Ben
