Summary
Hello there. My name is Chad Charette, and I am a multimedia journalist looking to evolve my career in the communications industry. For the past 3 years, I have been working at WWNYTV 7 News in Watertown, New York, as both a general assignment reporter and anchor. In that time, I’ve become well versed in filming, writing, and editing stories ranging from local politics to human interest pieces. I have a genuine passion for storytelling, especially when that storytelling involves a camera. If you’d like to see more of my work, feel free to check out my reel and the stories I've linked on my website.
