In my years at St. Cloud State, I was involved with their multi-million dollar student-run broadcast program (UTVS) from the very beginning. Besides class, I would spend almost all my time there as well as broadcasting the basketball team. I was also a sports anchor for the news and reporter for multiple shows.
