“Being a part of PMX has provided me with hands-on experience that has expanded my professional development skills. The projects I’ve worked on have taught me a lot about the importance of public media’s presence within the area, it's been rewarding getting to do meaningful work and see the difference it makes in the community.” — Dahlia Aliwa, former Membership Fellow
