“I’m a member of WRHU Radio Hofstra University and we released not too long ago our own Halloween horror show that aired actually at midnight on Halloween. So, I’m looking forward to making more projects with them as well. In terms of podcasting, I’m going to be spending the next three months with them after I graduate, so hopefully there will be more projects in the works. I also work at the Morning Show [on WRHU], so hopefully I’ll get to do more fun stuff with them when I leave. I never actually was a radio person at first, I was more of a TV person because I used to do a lot of TV and film in high school. After I came to Hofstra, I wanted to do TV, but I was drawn into the radio station because it was different. I figured I could focus on that for a year or two and that turned into four and a half years. So I’ve grown to fall in love with broadcasting and audio itself and the things you can do with just your voice. So, that’s one of the things I’ve learned during my time at Hofstra. Currently, I’m searching for jobs. I’ll be working for the radio station for my three-month extension after I graduate. Hopefully I’ll build up my reel a little bit more. I’m primarily looking in production, whether it be television or radio. I want to see if I can maybe work somewhere with podcasting because I’ve gotten really into podcasting as of late. So hopefully, I can bring some ideas around. If I finally get a job and I’m somehow financially independent at some point, I would like to continue making independent projects of my own, like the podcast I’m currently working on, which is actually called ‘Under the Covers.’ I’d like to continue working on that and hopefully make my mark in the world.”
