This program was aimed at exposing candidates to the various aspects of broadcast journalism, from the assignment desk to newscast writing and producing, promotion writing, and news editing to special projects. Worked with news department producers, reporters and anchors, and was able to learn their craft while gaining valuable experience and knowledge. The CBS site describes the program as "truly a unique opportunity for a recent college graduate who has a serious interest in pursuing a career in TV News." Three months were spent in the newsroom aiding in production, research, social media, script writing and in-field interviews. The last three months were spent in the sports department where I conducted in-field interviews (in the context of Boston sports), logged various sports games, wrote sports scripts and developed reporting skills by covering local sports stories.

In my four years at Boston College, I involved myself in a variety of groups on campus in order to expand my view on the lives of different kinds of people and thus better understand them. I have kept the connection with the people I have met through these groups, as I know these encounters are essential to my personal and professional relationships with others.

As a student of the Cristo Rey network, I gained valuable knowledge as to the structure and work ethic of the corporate business world. In my four years I was able to gain leadership experience with my position as student council president for 3 years. Though the schools programs were still developing at the time I was a member of the following clubs: Girl's basketball and volleyball player, performing arts (singing, acting), campus ministry (speaking, and singing at mass) as well as other academic clubs such as the Catholic math League, and Model UN. I ended my career in the top 5% of my class and kept a 3.7 GPA
