Summary
I am a current senior at Ball State University graduating Dec. 2024 with a bachelors degree in media and broadcast storytelling. I aspire to begin a career producing for a local news station after obtaining my degree. I have over six years of hands-on experience with newsroom equipment for both live broadcasts and editing for streaming purposes. I am no stranger to the unpredictable hours of a newsroom and its fast-paced environment. I am very hard working and eager to learn producing skills beyond student-lead news productions.
