My Perfect Job

I am graduating with a Media Communication Studies major and a minor in business. Primarily I would love to work in the entertainment industry because I feel as though that was a field that has been with me my whole life. Since I was younger, I was always in front of the camera. I later got into visual and performing arts and thought that was what I wanted to do with my life, but acting has led me to the field of communication. I would like to move down to my hometown, Miami Florida and get a job at a television station. I am currently interning at a radio station here in Tallahassee and would not mind working in radio down in Miami.

I just know that I will be in the forefront of whatever I choose to do. I am a go getter and a leader. I believe that if I get into a station, I can make them love me and work my way up. Ideally, I would love to do Deco Drive because it covers all current events including sports, news, weather, entertainment and features. It goes on at night Monday through Saturday at 7:30 pm. I would love to be an anchor and I understand that it is a process to get there. I don’t mind starting at the bottom and making my way up and who knows maybe I will learn to love a different job. I am especially happy that I now have a demo reel and I am the anchor for Seminole Showcase here at Florida State University. I am trying to take advantage of all the resources Florida State has to offer. I think that gaining more knowledge and experience in the business will only help you and will put me on the right path. Fingers crossed!
