Odyssey's social content platform crowdsources viewpoints from millennial thought leaders embedded in their local communities, surfacing a rich and otherwise untapped diversity of stories and real conversations to share on a worldwide scale with an audience hungry for a variety of perspectives. The platform empowers its thousands of writers to contribute what matters to them, and enables content to find its most relevant audience through organic social sharing. All Odyssey content undergoes a rigorous editorial process, leveraging the power of its proprietary MUSE technology combined with its editorial team. Odyssey, which launched online in 2014, is growing explosively with a highly engaged millennial and Gen Z audience. Based in New York and Indianapolis, Odyssey has a presence in over 350 communities nationwide, growing to 600 communities by year end.

I am a senior at the University of Delaware majoring in English with a concentration in Professional Writing who has just entered my fourth internship at Texture. This has proven to me that the digital media direction is paramount in my professional career. Prior to my college years, I was a classically trained, ballet student at the American Repertory Ballet's Princeton Ballet School in New Jersey for twelve years. Now at the university, I am a full-time student and an active member for UD's Student Television Network, STN49 News, along with a past writer for Spoon University and current writer for Elite Daily and the Odyssey Online. I look forward to continuing to immerse myself in this industry as social digital is the direction.
