Life as a Journalism Student at UF

Being a journalism student at the University of Florida has truly been a dream come true. Mostly because, its journalism program was one of the main reasons why UF was my dream school.


Life as a journalism student was extremely educating, stressful at times, but most of all rewarding. With the Center for Media Innovation and the Innovation News Center, as well as the courses taught, UF's College of Journalism has given me the hands-on and hands-off experience I need to take on the industry. The INC has given me amazing opportunities that truly trained me for the industry. This includes being a multimedia journalist working 12 hour shifts, a radio anchor for NPR, an entertainment anchor and a news anchor for WUFT News, an award-winning live newscast that airs in 17 counties.

With these opportunities and education, I had the honor to get some of my dream internships in New York City including being a production intern at The Wendy William's Show and a control room intern at NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers.


UF's College of Journalism is one of the best in the country and with good reason. Its educational centers, newsroom, courses and professors have given me a superior education, amazing opportunities and the confidence to go after anything I want to do in the industry and succeed at it!

It really is good to be a Florida Gator!

I've shared below a little video introduction that highlights some of my favorite experiences!
