General Assignment News Reporter for KDVS 90.3 F.M., my University's news radio station.
This is where I explored hard news reporting for the first time. During my senior year at the University of California, Davis, I reported on news that happened on campus. A few stories I investigated included sexual harassment claims from a sorority, a professor who was accused of favoritism, and a follow-up on the UC Davis Pepper Spray incident. This is where I learned to do research, pitch story ideas, develop relationships with community members, and track packages. Most importantly, I learned to fact check before putting anything on-air. I prepared questions, then organized and conducted interviews. I operated the control board and edited my projects using Adobe Audition. I broadcasted five-minute long news briefs weekly.
