Sharareh Drury is a senior, majoring in Broadcast Journalism. She writes for HerCampus' USC division, focusing mainly on news and feature stories happening on the Trojan campus as well as giving advice to any student in need of it.
She is also the multimedia director for ATVN semester, as well as Thursday’s weather anchor.
Sharareh was born in Boston, MA in 1988 and moved down south to Memphis, TN a few years later. While in high school, she was a part of a theatre and television production program.
She anchored for GHS-TV’s 2006 Election Night coverage, produced for Germantown Community Television Access shows, and was an assignment producer and reporter for the “News 101” segment on WMC-TV, a NBC affiliate in Memphis.
Sharareh has won 6 Regional Student Excellence Awards for Television and one National Television Academy Award for Student Excellence. The national award was for her documentary, “September 11th: The Story of NABE and AUBER”, which took a look at survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their feelings 5 years after.
Her past internships have been with Germantown Community Television, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Los Angeles Business Journal, and KNBC-Channel 4 News.
Personally, Sharareh is a huge music and television buff (favorite band is Queen and favorite show is House M.D.) and when not absorbed in TV, she loves anything to do with the outdoors (surfing, camping, cross-country running etc.). She’s also half Iranian and half Irish-American, and loves exploring new cultures (especially their food and fashion!).
