When I started taking Broadcasting in my sophomore year, I knew I wanted to be on camera, so I could read lines creatively and entertain my audience. I played a key part in the school’s newscast every day, because I brought energy and drew the viewers' attention to get them excited about sports. I became more involved and wanted to do more outside of school. I wanted to further develop my skills by attending summer workshops for various universities so I can become better with my product and the next level.
At these events, I would go to lectures that were out of my zone of expertise to learn more in the media field. I have attended colleges like Franklin, Ball State, and IU to further expand my knowledge on all different forms of media. From what I have now grown into an experienced media student to where I can teach others or those who are incoming to the classes, I love to teach others what I know.
This year was very important because we proved to the school how important our media is by winning several awards, including a broadcast national award that I was in. We were inducted into the broadcast Hall of Fame, and are started to get recognized by so much more. I am recently inducted into the honars program Quill and Scroll for my years of dedication and trust that I have built among the classes.
I am proud to be a part of HSE and all it has to offer me. I play football and rugby for the school, I am a part of Blue Crew, where we attend all sporting events to support our teams, and I always volunteer for media or sporting events. I am a certified lifeguard and work with the City of Fishers, a server at the Livery Restaurant, and a security guard for Ruoff.
One day hopefully, I can use these skills to make connections with people who can put me in a position for greatness. I wanted to travel, work out of my comfort zone, talk to all kinds of people, be on camera, and do what anyone needs me to do regarding media. There is still so much I have yet to learn and want to.
