GRADY COLLEGE OF JOURNALISM
Forever and always, I will be thankful to one of the best journalism schools in the country which taught me invaulable skills to start my career, The Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. Thanks to the professors, peers, classroom environments, coursework, and networking opportunities, I felt fully prepared to face the real world after college. The work and lessons I learned in school apply to everyday life and career experiences. Grady has given me countless opportunities to network with talented journalists from all over the country, report for over 90,000 homes in the Athens area, intern at top broadcasting networks, speak at momentous events, and even meet celebrities.
I represented student body honestly and positively to prospective students and their families through giving tours, participating in student panels, and hosting students to shadow a typical school day. It was a priority for me to make high school students and their parents feel at ease and well taken care of during their visits to The University of Georgia.

THE PEABODY AWARDS
The George Foster Peabody Awards, named for American businessman and philanthropist George Peabody, recognizes distinguished and meritorious public service by American radio and television stations, networks, online media, producing organizations, and individuals. In 2014, I was chosen to be a student judge to evaluate each work reflecting excellence in quality, rather than popularity or commercial success. The board and judges awarded about 25–35 winners from more than 1,000 entries. In NYC, I worked at the Waldorf Astoria for the Peabody Awards, helping rehearse, setting up, and working in production to help the ceremony run smoothly. In 2015, I had the chance to attend the awards at Cirpriani Wall Street where I met honoree, Amy Schumer and other celebrities.

MCGILL MEDAL OF COURAGE
For more than 40 years, the McGill Lecture has brought significant figures in journalism to the University of Georgia to help honor Ralph McGill's courage as an editor. I was chosen as one of 12 Grady students selected for "strengths in academics, practical experience and leadership" to attend the McGill Symposium, bringing together students, faculty and leading journalists to consider what journalistic courage means and how it is exemplified by reporters and editors. We did reports on several U.S. journalists whose careers exemplified journalistic courage and awarded the McGill Medal to Dorothy Parvaz. All of this is for a single purpose: to advance journalistic courage.
