My Project

As an aspiring teacher of general and special education across multiple content areas. With a degree in Mass Communications: Broadcasting & Journalism, my passion shines through with the desire to help provide a platform to give students a voice through media. I have been given the opportunity to have my passion become a reality at our school as we are starting a media arts program and will need supplies to provide students with quality instruction. These items will help launch a media network where the students will learn hands on camera work and learn to create their own content.
