My major is journalism because of my passion for telling stories. The focus is in sports because of my love for reading, writing and discussing the game. My dream is for journalism to take me into the world of sports media. Marquette was the right place for me because of the chance to work in student media as an underclassmen and because of the rare setting as a small Division 1 school in an urban setting.
My entire life was spent on a farm and which sparked the desire to live in a city. Milwaukee screamed adventure so I took the chance. After graduation the goal is to get a job working in sports media regardless of the medium. Working for a radio station, television station, newspaper, blog or sports outlet of any kind would be interesting to me. The end goal would be to work for a major network. My life long dream is to be on Around The Horn going head to head against Woody Paige and Bomani Jones. Working at a newspaper, hosting a radio show and appearing on television multiple times a week to talk about sports would be perfect. It's it hard to believe that they pay people to do that. One of my biggest challenges in Digital Journalism II was narrowing my story down and finding a specific angle. Another problem is finding too many things to talk about in a story and then talking about all of them. Another challenge has been writing leads for feature stories. Writing hard news leads has been one of my strengths. Another strength of mine in both of my previous digital journalism classes was my ability to work with the feedback received from instructors. It was quite rare that I would receive the same critique multiple times on one assignment. Moving forward some goals could be to get better at interviewing, selecting specific story angles, copyediting and critiquing my own work.
