After finishing my internship with KATU in Portland, I finally graduated from OSU in New Media Communications and was lucky enough to get hired as a production assistant at KVAL in Eugene the next day.
So far they’ve let me run teleprompter, cameras, and floor direct. Eventually I’ll train on booth stuff, but for now they need me in the studio.
Apparently there are too many Jennifers at KVAL already, so veteran floor director, Pete, decided to call me “Mad Dog” instead. I think it fits well enough.
So far I’m really enjoying KVAL. Overall it’s a fun environment, and I’m getting some great experience and learning a lot. Now if they’d just make me full time…
Jennifer, or should I say Mad Dog, saw you on Laurie Bridges facebook & wondered where you landed. Congrats on the KVAL gig! Now when I watch the news I’ll wonder if your behind it all?! =)
