👇🏼That part. The amount of times I had to literally make something out of nothing in mere seconds, all without breaking a sweat... in front of millions. And my mistakes? Well, those aired in front of millions, too. My time in television sharpened so many valuable skills that allow me to thrive both in life and in my new career now. Improvisation. Humility. Learning to fail gracefully. Conflict resolution. Critical thinking. Versatility. Creativity. Effective communication. Adaptability. Inquisitiveness. Intellectual curiosity. Situational awareness. Tenacity. Grit. The ability to overcome adversity. Receiving and responding to feedback and criticism with compassion. The list goes on and on. There is no better teacher than a newsroom. If you’re looking for candidates that will make good assets in quite literally any environment, someone with Television experience on their resume is an excellent place to start.

Companies, Why you should hire former journalists. (Disclaimer I’m fully employed with my dream marketing client and national TV work. But there are countless local journos who are currently underpaid and looking for that next challenge.) Here’s what they can bring to your organization. They understand urgency & deadlines They know how to cut through the noise They can create incredible video content for your company They know how to MULTI-TASK Case in point, this morning. I was working with a client in Nashville for a national media spot. This video shows me finishing makeup, talking to producers, and planning our shoot all at once. If you’re hiring… look at local newsrooms. There are some brilliant hard working people who can take your company or mission to the next level.
