Broadcasted several games for the station across the following sports: Football, Men's and Women's Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, and Women's Soccer. Traveled with the Women's Basketball team to Syracuse, New York, for a road game against Syracuse. I Broadcasted the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden between Miami and Tennessee. Called a road series for Miami Baseball against Florida State. I also produced lots of games for those same sports from the studio on campus. I learned how to prepare game notes, set up Comrex broadcasting equipment, and interview both players and coaches. All of the broadcasts were aired to the public, which forced professionalism and preparation from me as a broadcaster.

I interned for the Full Count Rhythm Baseball Team over the summer as a broadcaster. I primarily broadcasted road games and traveled with the team to different areas in the south and midwest. I broadcasted more than 15 games, including seven solo broadcasts. When traveling, I set up the equipment and self-produced my broadcasts for the Full Count Rhythm's social media pages through OBX. I learned how to incorporate sponsorships and interact with fans while broadcasting. Interacting with players and coaches improved my professional relationship skills.

I anchored for NewsVision, UMTV's award-winning student news show. I covered local, international, student, and more kinds of news on the desk. I wrote teases, tosses, VOs, and headlines. I produced three packages last semester. For each one, I coordinated the content, recorded footage, conducted interviews, edited b-roll, wrote a VO script, and recorded my voice over. I edited in Adobe Premiere and used other Adobe Cloud Products as well. I operated a Sony Z-150 and a Sony A7 to record footage. On weeks where I was not anchoring, I operated studio cameras. I also have training on operating server, graphics, and audio for live shows through my broadcast courses.
