Summary
I'm a freshman at the University of Missouri, pursuing dual degrees in Journalism and Political Science. I have a strong interest in political reporting, public affairs, and investigative journalism. I currently work part-time as a production assistant at KOMU-8 News, where I work directly with producers to edit video for newscasts, as well as operate the teleprompter for anchors and reporters during live shows. I am a success driven individual, determined to work hard and meet my goals. I work best in a fast-paced environment and I do well with meeting deadlines.
