Class of
2002
Bio: After graduation I continued to work at MTV Networks in Santa Monica. Starting out as a production assistant, I left at the end of 2006 as a producer in the Music & Talent Development department.
In 2007 I took a job with a the television and film production company Den of Thieves where I work as a producer of documentary, music, and reality programming.
ATVN positions and duties: Executive Producer, Producer, Studio Director, Writer, Editor, Technical Director, various studio crew positions.
How did ATVN prepare you for your current job?
ATVN helped me learn many technical skills I still use today. The newsroom and control room experience helped me develop methods to deal with deadlines and co-workers in high pressure environments.
What are the top three skills college journalism students should be working on in order to be prepared for their first broadcasting job?
Have professionalism, independence, and individuality. Professionalism: Knowing how to act and react to co-workers goes a long way. Independence: Being able to work on your own and complete tasks ahead of time is a skill that is never under-appreciated. Individuality: Getting the job done with some personal style can help elevate your work. Producers are always looking for new ideas and ways to breathe life into old ideas.
