How did you choose your major?

Champlain’s Broadcast Media Production major was exactly what I wanted. I didn’t want to study journalism or communications, and I didn’t want to be on camera at all. My dad suggested Champlain, and when I saw the Broadcast major, I knew that’s what I wanted to do. Champlain really allowed me to customize my major. I started off by taking all production classes and a few film classes, then branched out into taking marketing, public relations, and even a few law classes.

How was your study abroad experience?

My favorite thing about Champlain was going abroad to Dublin, Ireland. We have a campus there, and the staff is amazing. It was so easy for my tuition and scholarships to be transferred over. I loved every single minute of it—I went to six countries and met a lot of great people. Dublin was amazing, and I recommend it to every single person.

Have you had any internships during your time at Champlain?

I interned with Vermont Works for Women, where I was the Community Outreach intern. It was a catch-all position, and I got lots of opportunities to exercise my strengths. I helped write their annual appeal letter, and I created two promotional videos for them. In the fall of 2016, I went to Randolph, VT and held a video booth for their annual Women Can Do conference, which promotes STEM and trades to ninth through twelfth grade girls. It was amazing.
