CLASSROOM TO CAREER – IRL APPLICATION
I currently work at WABE, NPR’s member station in Atlanta. I’ve been there since the start of program at GSU. My time at GSU was centered around redefining myself as a creative and refining my skills in digital media. Below I’ve featured a few works that I’m really proud of from these two entities.
WABE, Summer ’23
