Howdy, my name is Corey Kline, and I am currently interning for our local paper.  I grew up in Toledo and spent much of my time running in track or sacking groceries at Fareway.  I graduated in 2005 from South Tama County High School.  I continued studies at The University of Iowa where, in May of 2009, I received a bachelor’s degree in cinema and a minor in theatre.  I was also lucky enough to take two photojournalism courses at the UI and I became even more interested in visual storytelling.  In the months since graduating from the UI, I was able to live in Germany for six months and work as a youth counselor on U.S. airbases around Kaiserslautern, Germany.  

As a counselor, I taught the kids to behave, and they taught me to have fun.  As a traveller in Germany I saw how the Germans do work in order to relax; in Morocco I saw how the Moroccans relax inorder not to work.  All the while I tried to learn how different people live, and I took a few photos along the way.

Now back in Tama, I’m trying to gain some experience in the journalism business and do some planning before heading off in a new direction.  I would appreciate hearing any and every story about Tama or Toledo, after all, this is where I come from.
