In this role, I enhanced my skills as a producer and an anchor/reporter. I covered breaking news events, filmed standups out in the field, and anchored a newscast.In addition to my KPRC 2 internship, I worked as an undergraduate research assistant for the Center for Community Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin. In this position, I assisted a professor in editing her third book and collected information about the Telegram App and other exciting projects. I am still working in this position for the fall.Finally, I worked as a vote entry operator for the Associated Press. I tabulated and inputted votes for the summer primary elections. I am still working in this position for the fall and will cover the Presidential Election in November.I left the summer feeling inspired and content with the various journalistic experiences I gained, and I'm looking forward to the future!
