Throughout my undergraduate career I tried to immerse myself and take advantage of the opportunities and outlets available to students to build up my resume and eventually get a job. I've had the pleasure of interning with radio stations WYEP, WDVE, and WXDX and the Pittsburgh City Paper, and have plenty of experience being a radio personality and producer along with a seasoned arts and entertainment writer. I've also taken many classes to help refine these skills! This sect of journalism is hard to break into-- you've got to be standout to snatch up the few jobs available. I want to help those with a passion for journalism to get off to a good start!
