I am a masters student at the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. This semester I have been the TA for an undergrad multimedia reporting class and learning about:
- coding html and making web pages
- becoming a multimedia journalist
- Analyzing mass media law

Background
A native of Durham, North Carolina, I am a big sports fan, especially baseball and basketball. For my undergrad, I went to Wingate University, nestled on the southeast edge of suburban Charlotte, NC. I earned a degree in communication studies with an emphasis in broadcast journlism. Another reason I was there was to be on the cross country team, coached by Dr. Dennis Johnson. During the summers of my undergrad years, I worked for a moving company, loading and unloading trucks and packing boxes. It's very physical work, but also very rewarding. My first day on the job I got a $60 tip! When I'm not focusing on my studies or watching a game, I enjoy a nice round of disc golf.
