Biography:
Hi! My name is Emma and I’m a junior studying TV/Video Production. I’m super involved with everything in the J-School. I love all things broadcast and I am enjoying furthering myself as a journalist by working at the radio station and our TV Studio. I hate not being busy, and if I’m not floating around the building, I’m either at home working on stuff or completeing my internship at WSAZ!
