At UNC’s premier student-run sports show, Sports Xtra, I’ve established myself as a versatile multimedia journalist, excelling in both technical production and field reporting roles. In the control room, I’ve mastered industry-standard tools including Xpression graphics system, while also demonstrating proficiency in Mira replay operations, teleprompter management, and dashboard controls. My field experience encompasses comprehensive game coverage, from shooting live events to crafting time-sensitive scripts for anchors, with expertise in producing VOs and VOSOT segments under strict deadlines for both Monday and Friday broadcasts.
During Fall 2024, I distinguished myself by leading the student cohort in package production, delivering five high-impact feature stories between September and December. These packages demonstrated my journalistic range and storytelling ability, as I independently handled all aspects of production – from initial research and filming to scripting and final editing. My work consistently reflected a deep understanding of UNC’s sports culture while exploring compelling narratives that resonated with our audience, often incorporating relevant pop culture elements to enhance viewer engagement. This leadership role showcased not only my technical abilities but also my talent for identifying and executing dynamic stories that elevate our show’s content quality.
