In December 2017 graduating a semester early, I attained my degree in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in New Media Entrepreneurship and Innovation from The Pennsylvania State University. This fall, I will commence my master’s degree at City, University of London with a focus in International Journalism.

 

From a young age, I would rush home from school to watch Oprah. I specifically enjoyed her vision and the concept behind her show; it was personalized and viewers could relate to it. I would continuously imagine myself carving out a path in a similar manner. Oprah’s journey from a humble and tough childhood to her success as a reporter, hosting her own daytime talk show and ultimately owning a magazine and a television network has motivated me to keep striving to be the best version of me.

​

A dream of mine has always been to work preferably in the entertainment business as an anchor, a reporter or TV personality, but I have never limited myself to just the entertainment industry. I have been working towards this dream since I was an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Candidate at Seneca Valley High School, by showing a strong interest in IB Film, IB English and IB French.

​

My interest in the journalism began with a passion in ballet and modern dance at a young age. Reputable television shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Ellen and Access Hollywood greatly influenced me as well. This desire to be a Broadcast Journalist only heightened as I became more keenly interested in my courses and gained experience from multiple internships I have completed. 

 

One day I aspire to be a news anchor and/or a TV personality. I intend to work my way up to becoming the head of a news outlet in a particular region and ultimately bring a news outlet to a country where it does not already exist. But my aspirations do not stop here.
