Hi Everyone!

As you may know, from my "About the Author" blog post, I am a broadcast journalism student at the University of Florida. I will be graduating this August, and I am currently looking for a job.

I am looking for a job with the media - I would like to either work as a reporter at local news station or in production, behind the scenes.

Any feedback you may have is greatly appreciated! You can email or call me if you would like to talk to me about opening entry-level positions you may have at your company. Thanks!

Here is my resume and a link to some of my most recent work as a reporter:
