Currently, I am senior at Penn State University. I will be graduating in May 2012 with a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism and English.
Throughout my four years at Penn State, I have been actively involved in ComRadio. ComRadio is the student produced web-based radio station sponsored by the College of Communications. It consists of news, sports, talk, and sales. The radio station's goal is to resemble the likes of a professional station.
As a freshman I joined ComRadio and have held every position in the News Department. My positions have included, reporter, producer and currently News Director. My experience with ComRadio has given me the leadership skills, knowledge and drive to be able to be a producer at a radio or television station.
This past summer, I interned at WPSU, an NPR affiliate, in State College. As their only news intern, I was responsible for pitching story ideas, interviewing sources, and editing my stories. This internship gave me the ability to connect with many different people around the community and to paint a picture with my stories.
I have had a lot of experience in radio, but I am very interested in television as well. I am enrolled in Centre County Report, a weekly local television newscast produced by Penn State Journalism students. I will be traveling to Brazil in March to be an international reporter.
My experience in both radio and television has given me the basis needed to pursue a career as a television producer.
