      As a Sports anchor, two colleagues and I produced a 30-minute long show called the SportsZone. It covered everything from high school to professional sports and our roles rotated every week. Those roles included the main anchor, co-anchor/ Interview segment, and social media anchor. During my time, I conducted live and in-studio interviews with multiple ISU athletes. As the social media anchor, I gathered what was trending around the sports world and shared it with the audience through social media posts and infographics. Also during this time, I produced the sports block for our Wednesday News show. I usually created everything for this block.
