MY PROJECT

Senior Project Proposal

I believe there are many things that I can do with my career. I do have goals, but if something comes up that I may really enjoy, my goals may change. I love radio the most, but if I had an opportunity to be a feature reporter or a morning co-host on a talk show like Kelly with Regis, I would love that as well. I also have a lot of plans to move up executively. My drive is in music and radio, but I would do the news if I had to.

I want to work on programming, promotion, production, producing, television reporting, and radio news, and my talent skills as an announcer.
