Why did you choose to attend Point Park for broadcasting?

I heard so many great things about the broadcasting program at Point Park. As a senior in high school, I participated in Point Park's High School Media Day program. I met Professor Helen Fallon and I fell in love with the school. I loved being in a city, right in the heart of the news and close to big news agencies. I knew the professors had real-world work experience and that they would be able to share that to help me in my career.

Anything else you would like to add?

Enjoy what you're doing! But remember, telling the truth to your viewers is the most important thing. Be thorough, pay attention and remember to always check your spelling.
