As a full-time  junior studying broadcast journalism at Columbia College Chicago, I am anything but the typical journalist. 

I spend my time working hard and playing hard.   I‘m an intern at 24/7 Chicago productions and a director and editor for the Columbia College Journalism Newsroom. 

Sports are one of my many passions and the career path I want to take. In fact, I’ll even go as far to say the ultimate present would be to go to a UFC fight or super bowl. I currently train in different styles of fighting, such as boxing, thai boxing and mixed martial arts.

You could say fighting is my life outside of school and work. My first fight was in this year’s Chicago Golden Gloves. After I graduate, if not before, I hope to excel my career in fighting possibly going pro and also pursue a career in sports reporting.  In the future, I have plans of hosting my own show based on fighting. 

I am also in pursuit of some play-by-play work and I look forward to graduating in December of 2008.
