I am currently a senior at L’Anse Creuse High School North, and will be attending Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Broadcast Journalism and Mass Communication in the fall. I have been involved in my school’s broadcast media program since my sophomore year and have developed strong skills in areas such as interviewing, filming, editing, directing, producing, and performing as on-air talent. I am a member of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Student Advisory Committee, where I write bi-monthly articles and plan future MAB student events. I also had the opportunity to attend the MIPA Summer Workshop where I earned the Sparty Award for my leadership and producing abilities in the "Broadcast Boot Camp." In my junior year of high school I began volunteering at Shelby TV, a local cable station in Shelby Township. After 3 months of showing up almost every day, I was offered a paid internship position on their team. At Shelby TV, I work main camera for all of our live sports productions, create news packages, and film/edit video for the news show. I recently took on the role of producer of the township's Library Show. I have loved and appreciated this opportunity to get practical experience in the broadcast industry while still in high school.
