Ability to Work in a Fast-Paced Environment
Especially when there is breaking news during my show, I am able and willing to destroy my rundown and rebuild during the show to make sure the most important stories of the day make it in the show.
Strong Leadership Skills
As an executive producer, I worked with our talent, assignment desk and production crew daily -- constantly communicating with them to make sure our shows had the best content possible.
Solid News Judgment
Including college, I have five years of producing experience under my belt. When I was a supervisor, I had to make decisions daily about what we would or would not cover.
Compelling and Accurate News Writer
I compare sources and use credible sources (National Sources as well as local sources, such as law enforcement or city and state officials) when writing stories. I have taken several producing-specific courses from Frank Magid and Associates to help improve my writing.
Ability to Multi-Task
On a regular day, I can be seen speaking with residents with news tips, communicating with reporters and producers, setting up daily and weekly news coverage, and copy editing scripts and supers simultaneously.
Flexibility in the Work Environment
I stay late to finish tasks, jump in when there is breaking news, even if my shift is over, and fill-in whenever needed. I work with multiple departments to ensure the newsroom continues to operate smoothly throughout the day.
