Journalism As an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, my secondary major was Mass Communication; therefore, I qualified for an added-on endorsement in teaching Journalism. I took the following Journalism-related courses at Virginia Tech: Media Writing, Visual Media, Media Institutions, Communication Research, Broadcast Writing, Editorial Writing, Writing for the Web, Media Effects, Television Production, Principles of Public Relations, Communication Law and Ethics, and New Communications Technology. In addition to taking Journalism courses, I was a staff writer for the Collegiate Times (Virginia Tech's student-run newspaper) and a script writer, reporter, and anchor for two shows on VTTV (Virginia Tech's student-run television station). Furthermore, I was a news intern at Fox 5 News (WTTG) in Washington, D.C., and I've been published twice as a guest columnist in the Richmond Times- Dispatch. While student teaching, I created a class wiki for my broadcast students. To view it, go to http://journalismchs.pbwiki.com/ My experiences in print and broadcast journalism have prepared me to teach Journalism classes. I have a strong passion for writing, editing, reporting, directing, and producing, so I'm very excited to be qualified to teach those interest areas!
