From the Paper:

"Although I am still a teenager, I have been fascinated with the fields of broadcasting and communication for as long as I can remember. It was as a freshman and sophomore in High School that I first studied television broadcasting as an academic subject; gaining knowledge of the range of television programming while also acquiring hands-on experience at live video production and post-production editing techniques. Later, as a participant in the Advanced Television Production course - a class recommended for those interested in careers in communications - I had the opportunity to work as a camera operator, video editor, writer and talent director. I am particularly proud that some of my packages, montages, and remotes were selected for broadcast on the school's morning announcements, as well as for air on the local cable channel."
