What's the most memorable project you did in your major?

As a senior, everyone does a Capstone project. We did a 10-minute documentary about house concerts. We traveled all over to film, including to Canada and Connecticut. It was so much fun meeting new people and seeing artists perform. And then, we went through all the footage to pick the best shots and make this movie ours.

You had an internship with a local news station. What was that experience like?

When I first began interning at one of the local television stations, I worked hard to really prove that I was present and wanted to do the work, and it ended up paying off. Then, I was a fill-in reporter and an associate producer for the same local television station at which I interned. They called me up and asked, “Hey, can you fill in on this day? We have a reporter out.” And I’d go in and do what they do.

What¡¯s it like to be a college student in 足彩胜负14场?

I love 足彩胜负14场. I’m from a place where there isn’t a whole lot going on. Here, there’s always an event happening, places to go, new spots to find. And being a college town, there are a lot of people your own age to meet and hang out with. I think the Waterfront is my favorite place to go in 足彩胜负14场.

When I got to my internship, they said, 'OK, here's a package; help us edit this.' If I didn't have that experience at Champlain, I would have been dumbfounded. Luckily, I had spent a lot of time working and developing my skills.
