Name: Madeline Carino
Year: Junior
Major: Journalism
Job: I am involved with the Big Ten Network’s Student U Program (BTN) and MSU’s Athletic Communications Department.
Job Duties: With BTN, I am a camera operator for online broadcasts. Sometimes, the network will re-air our work on TV if it’s good enough. I have taped men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey and volleyball. I hope to be a producer by the end of my senior year. Through the Communications department, I help gather stats for athletic events. My involvement with both entities are beneficial. I have special access to athletic events that most students don’t experience. I work in the press boxes, with cameras and I’ve operated parabolic microphones on the football field.
What Interests You About Sports? I love sports because it brings people together. When the country has suffered a tragedy, sports carry on to bring joy and normalcy back to its fans. They relate to everyone, even the non athletes, because they’re about overcoming adversity to accomplish a goal.
Life’s Passion: To be happy.
Dream Job: To be a producer with a sports broadcasting network such as Big Ten, Fox Sports or ESPN.
Special Talent: I can do origami and make bows out of paper.
Favorite Place On Campus? Jenison Fieldhouse because I love the entire volleyball program.
Spartan Bucket List: I want to attend a basketball game in the Izzone.
