It is difficult to identify the specific moment my interest in news began. From the time I was a young girl, I was fascinated with the emergence of technology and the idea of mass media. I even broadcasted my morning announcements in elementary school as a fifth grader.
I knew that I wanted to continue studying journalism throughout college and develop a professional skill set that will allow me to pursue a career in this field.
With a focus in broadcast news, I have come to enjoy watching and listening to those on channels such as ABC News, Fox News, and CNN.
Recently, I have enjoyed following and learning from news anchor Caroline Collins. She provides an interesting look into the lifestyle of a news anchor through her short 30 second-1 minute TikTok videos. She currently works as an evening news anchor for FOX26 out of Houston, TX.
Not only have I learned different tips and techniques from her videos but have truly grown to admire her energetic spirit and passion for what she does.
Last semester at High Point University, I joined the HPU Vision club where I helped produce and anchor on HPU All Access, HPU In The Morning, and Point Blank. I entered each show with a positive and eager spirit hoping to learn from the upperclassmen and gain more experience.
In my future, I know I would love to work either behind or in-front of the camera. It's hard to say right now exactly what I want to be doing in the next five to ten years, but I feel that is the beauty about the degree I'm pursuing. I don't have to have all the answers yet and can use my degree in a variety of ways.
