"I want to get my start in news, and I do not think that being a journalist is a good right start for me. I would rather do something where I work closely with them but ease into the business a little slower. In the meantime, I am passionate about storytelling and breaking news, so I believe finding stories is the perfect job for me, and will help me learn more about reporting."
