Dear Dreamer,

 I know how cheesy it is to say “follow your dreams” but I want you to do it, to follow me.  It will make you so happy and I know you want to be happy, we all want you to be happy. Sometimes you’ll think that I am unrealistic or hard to reach, but if you try and try and even get a little bit closer, you will feel a sense of calm and happiness come over you.  Also, don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot reach me! One day they will realize not to be so negative because they have dreams of their own. And if it is not a dream that can be tangible, then I want you to keep daydreaming if it makes you happy. There is a reason I am always popping up and sit in the back of your head. I don’t want you to forget about me, Your Dreams, because it’s a “happy place” to keep your mind set on a goal.

 Love, Your Dreams

  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
