ABOUT ME
Growing up, I have always wanted to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. This passion was solidified through the years as I have become more aware of the real world. I have realized the effect news has on people, and I would like to be a part of that in the most positive transparent way.
I am currently attending the University of South Florida and majoring in Mass Communications with a concentration in Broadcast News. I am minoring in International Relations. I have experience writing for a local newspaper, HCP Associates, USF Newsroom, and WFLA’s show Daytime.
As a senior year student, I have learned to prioritize truthfulness, accountability, and deadlines in each story I produce. My educational experience so far has taught me that my passion lies within world news, political stories, and giving a voice to the voiceless. I have worked as an intern for a local newspaper, an intern at HCP Associates, and performed many newsroom roles while taking the TV practicum course titled ‘Florida Focus.’ These roles established self-sufficiency in time management by prioritizing my tasks, establishing clear deadlines, and finding creative solutions to eliminate obstacles. This is apparent as I am a full-time student, the co-owner of a small business, and a Sales Associate at Ulta Beauty.
Aside from my experience, I also offer unique strengths, such as observation, attention to detail, communication skills, and constant motivation. As a member of the newsroom, my well-honed observation skills will serve me well in uncovering important elements that will be relevant when developing stories. I also possess excellent communication skills that have helped me build positive relationships in various aspects of my work. Finally, I am highly motivated to develop high-quality work and give my best effort in everything I do. I excel in a fast-paced, supportive, and collaborative environment where there is constant motivation, diligence, and feedback from my peers. I am always open to learning anything that will improve myself and my skills.
My career goals are to work for a local news station, then move into politics after completing my Master’s degree in Political Science, and end up in national news.
