- Excelled as an anchor for the morning news broadcast channel, I have been on air several times detailing and disseminating news read from a teleprompter, usually alongside a co-host. I was repeatedly chosen because I was confident, willing, and available at all times, and I had a clear speaking voice. This experience has boosted my confidence and public speaking skills.
- I was proficient as an audio technician backstage at the studio, providing valuable and necessary setup and production value to the production of the morning news. As such, I can quickly adapt and work with different equipment setups.
- Coordinated as the on-floor director on several occasions, directing the crew through a two-way headset between the backstage crew and the on-air hosts. Minor leadership and small group communication experience, and good interpersonal skills.
- This experience was part of a class and was subsequently unpaid. It lasted throughout the 2023-2024 school year.
