freelanced for ABC Sports. “Brown College prepared me
for the real world with hands-on experience. Most classes,
such as studio production, were conducted as if you were
actually broadcasting a show. I learned how to do news
packages, commercials, public service announcements,
and thirty-minute studio shows, from pre-production to
post-production. When I graduated I felt very confident
about being able to get a job in television.”
