Live Productions
With a passion for live production, I strive to learn as much an I can within the studio and control room. I am currently a student producer for Sports Beat, a sports based news cast, which runs out of Hofstra’s very own student-run television network— HEAT (Hofstra Entertainment Access Television). As a producer, I have the opportunity to determine the direction and content quality for four productions a semester with the help of my other executive board members (see my resume for specifics). Being involved in the HEAT Network allows me to get hands-on experience in varying crew positions. I have directed and technical directed for numerous productions using Ross Production Switchers and have operated standard studio equipment such as teleprompter, Hitachi SK-UHD4000 studio cameras, Soundcraft Audio Boards, and XPression Graphics.
DIRECTING
-
I directed 3 of 9 episodes of Hofstra News Now for the HEAT Network. The episode attached was our last of the semester.
-
I directed a short 5-minute sports news broadcast for my final project in my directing class.
My Sports Beat team and I have had the absolute pleasure of being awarded Best Non-Fiction Episode at the Lawrence Herbert School of Communications’ annual Herbie Awards- not one, but two years in a row! I am incredibly grateful for the help from my team to make our show the success that it has been the past few years. We have extended our production outside Hofstra’s walls as well which has definitely worked in our favor! As members of the HEAT (Hofstra Entertainment Access Television) Network, we also had the honor to be nominated and receive the Press Club of Long Island Award for Best College Broadcast for our second episode of the fall 2023 season. I could not be prouder to have witnessed our show grow so much, and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store!
With the amazing support from my professors at Hofstra University and my knowledge of sports production, I have been able to dive deep into the world of broadcasting and attend at some pretty cool events! I had the privilege of attending the 2nd Annual Sports Emmy Awards as well as the 67th Annual NYC Emmy Awards. It was an honor to get to work with and meet some iconic names in the industry, and I cannot wait to come back soon!
Shuffleboard Showdown
I was enrolled in a TV Production: Live Sports class this past semester. This course allowed my peers and I to develop an original, comprehensive production plan to cover live sports games. Rather than producing a conventional sport with established routines, we chose a sport that challenged us to create a unique and original production design- shuffleboard! As producer of Shuffleboard Showdown, I planned all primary coverage, selected on-air talent, helped plan graphics and replays, and created a sophisticated run-of-show— producing the predictably unpredictable game itself.
