Catch the second podcast inteview in our 35th Anniversary series featuring Jillian Lynch, former Managing Editor of the Daily-News Record. Jillian speaks with recent JMU intern Isidor Lacy about her experiences interning with the SV SBDC and how it impacted her work in the newsroom.

“My experiences at the SBDC in the Shenandoah Valley, particularly in user experience design, greatly informed my current roles as a newspaper editor and user experience designer. Despite the apparent differences in titles within my small organization, I play a significant role in enhancing website engagement and managing user experience across various platforms. Through guidance from Allison and local business owners, as well as honing reporting skills at the SBDC, I’ve been well-prepared to handle these responsibilities, and I truly value the SBDC’s impactful contributions to fostering local entrepreneurship and community growth.”  –Jillian Lynch
