What are the responsibilities of your current position?

How did your education at MSU help prepare you for work in the field?

My education at MSU greatly helped me in my field. Not only from an academic skills standpoint but from a "life skills" standpoint as well. I learned how to be better organized and how to prepare for deadlines. The editing skills that I learned in TV Production helped make my transition into a TV production position seamless.

What advice would you give to current students looking for internships or jobs in the field?

To students: The rigors of college life can be daunting at times, but make time to research your field on the internet and seek out internship possibilities. Don’t be afraid to break away from the latest technologies and write hand written letters. The key is to stand out from the potential hundreds of students pursuing the same position that you are. Think outside the box!
