Summary

I am a News Media major and Political Science minor at the University of Alabama with hands-on experience in broadcast and digital journalism. My work includes conducting interviews, writing scripts, recording voiceovers, and practicing anchoring. I currently contribute to WVUA 23 News Digital Daily, a weekly 30–60 second vertical segment distributed on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok that highlights key local and state news along with brief weather and sports updates. I will continue my involvement with WVUA 23 as an official intern next semester. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong foundation in journalism, with particular strengths in writing, attention to detail, and working under deadline pressure. I am focused on building a career in broadcast journalism and growing as a reporter and anchor.
