  • RNC Days 3 and 4

    I have never done so much walking in my life, I have definitely gotten my share of exercise. I worked from 11:30am-close both Wednesday and Thursday, which I was happy about because I got to see the prime time speeches.

  • RNC: Days 1 and 2

    Yesterday was a busy day, especially once the convention started around three. I have to say that one of the most interesting and likely places to find famous faces is talk show row, which is located to the left of the south entrance of the RIverside Centre in a high and wide open hallway.

  • Pre-RNC

    Although the convention doesn’t start until Monday, today was my first official day working as a runner for CBS Radio: and run I did, well, more like a hurried hustle.

  • Future goal: I hope to become a political reporter for one of the national news networks, but I am also interested in investigative journalism.
  • Favorite hangout on campus: I spend a lot of time in the J-school library and lab.
  • Why a liberal arts degree: Because the two majors I am interested in are in CLA, but I also love the diversity of classes available within both of my majors.
