Unrivaled Pregame Show
In the fall of my junior year, I was offered a spot as one of two student reporters on the Unrivaled Pregame Show, a new venture from the Penn State athletic department. It was an hour-long live show every week that was intended to bring a typical football Saturday to Penn Staters across the world. Our resources were scarce due to COVID, but we wound up reaching thousands of viewers every Saturday.

Live Hit Montage/Compilation
For each show, I prepared a 2-minute segment on a timely, Penn State-related story and presented it live on location as a student reporter |
Slinky Pre-Recorded Feature
I was unable to go live on the show one week, so I pre-recorded this creative story on the Slinky toy and its interesting PSU connection |
WCBD News 2
After my freshman year at Penn State, I was fortunate enough to obtain an internship with the NBC affiliate station in Charleston. During my ten weeks in the program, I worked exclusively with the station's two sportscasters. I shadowed them on a daily basis, accompanied them at all local sporting events, helped them with research and story ideas, and contributed to filming/editing highlights and packages.

Mock Sportscasts
On a few occasions, I was given the opportunity to practice anchoring a sportscast in the news studio. This is one that I recorded for my reel. |
Feature Packages
I would always edit a recap package after we shot an event in the area. This package, specifically, revolves around Khris Middleton's homecoming. |
Montage/Compilation
One of the biggest topics of discussion I had with the station's two sportscasters was regarding the importance of a reel. While this is not in any way a reel, my two mentors thought it prudent for me to have a compilation of the best clips from my limited camera time.

Wando 'Tribe Talk'
'Tribe Talk' is Wando High School's bi-weekly news show. Episodes typically range from 20-30 minutes and are produced entirely by student journalists. At the 2017 Spring National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) Convention in Seattle, WA, 'Tribe Talk' placed 2nd in the Best of Show competition amongst high school news programs. There were a total of six news pieces on the episode entered into the competition, and I was involved in editing or reporting on three of them. All in all, I spent two years on staff, and worked as an anchor, reporter, and editor.

'Wando Sports Talk' Segment
As the producer and host of the weekly sports segment, I was in charge of generating highlights, as well as coordinating coach/player interviews. |
Wando Mascot Controversy Piece
Many Wando students decided to speak out against our Native American mascot. I reported on this story and assisted in editing the final product. |
