Summary
For the past 5 years I have become an efficient and dedicated news producer who strives to consistently push the boundaries of production and story creation. I have loved every second of the work I have done and I am proud of all that I have accomplished. In just a short amount of time I have gone from a simple college graduate to an innovative leader in my newsroom who wants to bring everyone up and help shape the dynamic nature of the ever evolving medium of broadcast television. I set a series of exacting demands for myself that stretch beyond just being a good script writer and journalist. I am someone who is not only skilled in the technical aspects of my job but also in forming relationships and working with my team to create a unique vision that will be implemented in everything I touch.
