    Attended Pavilion High School

    I graduated from Pavilion Central School in 2013 with 52 other classmates. We were a very small class and we lost a lot of students throughout high school due to moving. I met some of the most inspirational teachers in 11th and 12th grade and I'm glad that I was able to go to such a small-knit school where everyone knows each other personally.
  • Donating Blood

    Donating Blood
    I started donating blood in 2013 because we had a blood drive in high school and now I donate blood and platelets religiously and love the fact that I can help so many people. I still don't enjoy needles, but I love the fact that my platelets help those going through chemotherapy and treatments.

    Genesee Community College

    I started taking college classes my senior year of high school so I was able to graduate in 3 semesters instead of 4. I started taking Television Production classes toward the end of my journey at GCC and found my internship at Channel 10. I am so thankful for all the opportunities I had here.
  • Channel 10 News Internship

    Channel 10 News Internship
    I was able to intern at Channel 10 News in Rochester and start exploring what career field I wanted to get into. With all of the experiences, I was able to put my foot in the door of the working world and start myself on the right path to finding the job of my dreams.
  • First Real Job

    First Real Job
    Last summer, I started working in a Broadcast Production crew at Batavia Downs for the horse races every year. The first year I was working the cameras, this year I was promoted to the Broadcast Technical Director. This job has opened so many doors for me and helped me gain job experience.

    SUNY Geneseo

    I chose Geneseo once I figured out what I wanted my major to be, which is Communication. I have met some awesome people here and taken so very beneficial classes that have helped me toward my career goal. I took many summer classes and loaded semesters so I would be able to graduate a semester early.
  • Florida Trip

    Florida Trip
    I traveled to Florida alone to stay with friends and visit family. While I was on this trip, I took some time to check out job opportunities in the Fort Lauderdale area and I found a few that I was interested in, similar to my current job and entry level jobs.
  • Rochester City Newspaper Internship

    Rochester City Newspaper Internship
    I was curious about print news writing and decided to spend my summer writing and interning for City Newspaper. I enjoyed my time there but would not pursue a career in newspaper writing. I was able to work on some cool stories and gain more experience for journalist style writing, both online and print.
