I love the high-energy and fast-paced nature of working in TV; every day brings on new challenges. There is always something or someone new to learn from which I find inspiring.”

As I grew up I found a passion for film and TV. I started volunteering at my middle school and high school TV stations, then went off to college and worked at the TV station on campus.
