West Virginia University has spent millions of dollars in the last few years for new renovations to make our campus better, bigger, and prettier. Ā Last week, Evansdale Crossing opened. Ā This building is a new student centered area that is connected to the Engineering PRT station. Ā The building consists of a Barnes & Noble, student services center (registrar, student accounts, and financial aid), study spaces, 4 classrooms, School of Journalism Innovation Space and others. Ā 

Oh! And the food there is supposedly “on point.” Ā The restaurants include Tazikis, Colla Rosso Pizza (pizza pictured below), Hugh-Baby’s, and Little Donkey. Ā I’ve heard from several students that the burgers are one of the top five burgers they’ve ever put in their mouth. Ā These restaurants are now open from 11 am – 9 pm. Ā There’s also a juice bar and a coffee shop. Ā Ā

WVU

 

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 WVUā€™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 ā€˜Big Sister Chairman.ā€™

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.
