Today
Right now, I'm a sophomore at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania where I'm double majoring in management information systems and broadcast journalism. I'm a part of the Presidential Leadership Academy, Sapphire Leadership Program, Management Information Systems Association (MISA), Penn State Network TV News (PSN TV News), and the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA).
Tomorrow
After graduation, my ideal job would be as a television reporter for a national magazine format show, like 60 Minutes, 20/20, or Dateline where I am given enough time to truly tell a story. Because journalism is a field where there are dozens of applicants for one job opening, I decided to double major in management information systems as another option. Thankfully, I'm able to say that I'm majoring in both of my hobbies, so I look forward to finding a job in a field that I love.
Technology
Technology is a pretty big part of my life, and it all started at 18 months old when I was in my mom’s lap sitting at the computer and figured out the connection between the mouse and the arrow on the screen. Ever since then, I’ve learned a lot more about computers and turned it into a hobby. I’ve done everything from setting up systems to working with servers at my job for my school district. I’ve been helping family and friends with their computer problems for years now, and I’ve even tutored a lot of people about how to use their technology effectively. Sometimes I just go over the basics (How to make a new folder, print pictures from a digital camera, etc.), but other times I teach people more advanced things (Video editing, website maintenance, etc.).

Journalism
Journalism has also been a passion of mine for about ten years. In fourth grade, I bought a toy radio transmitter to play with that led me to my interest today in broadcast journalism. I’ve written for my high school newspaper and been involved in my high school’s TV productions program. Fortunately, a few of the things I worked on during high school have received regional awards. Right now I'm a sophomore at Penn State University where I’m an anchor, reporter and videographer for PSNtv News.
