Resume:

​

Graduated from Colorado State University where I obtained 3 years of sports broadcast journalism experience with two years experience in PR and media relations.

 

I am proficient in Adobe software, videography/video editing/post production, and fluent in spanish. My experience includes on air broadcast, post game interviews, feature writing and reporting. I am looking to use my skills and task oriented mind in broadcast journalism, more specifically in the realm of sports.
