Professional Aspirations

Has completed internships at Design Digital where she helped out in studio ad editing and on a couple shoots as a PA and with Valley Shore Connecticut Television (Public Access) where she helped out with the regular business of a public access station, helped on shoots, and filmed and directed two live basketball games... has also interned at the New England Sports Network (NESN)

Kristie on her internships so far:

"All of my internships helped me gain confidence in the work I'm doing; especially my semester long one at NESN. NESN showed me what it is like working at a broadcast station and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Sports broadcasting is something that I hope to continue after that experience."
