EMERAL'S BAPTISTE BIOGRAPHY

A Passion for Journalism

Hello and thank you for viewing my website. My name is Emeral Baptiste and I'm currently a senior at The Pennsylvania State University in pursuit of a degree in broadcast journalism with a minor in sociology. I was born and raised in New York City and I choose to attend this college due to the resources and opportunities they have for students in my field. As an aspiring broadcast journalist, this website is created to show you the highlights of some of the work I have done in this field.

With only a couple of months left until I graduate I'm strongly determine to give it my all to learn as much as possible in my field to be the best journalist I can be. My aspirations is to work behind the scenes or become a producer.

My motto is , you either have to go hard or go home.

 I have learned how  to edit videos and make videos as well as audio recordings. During my time in Centre County Reporting for the Fall semester I have had several positions for the news station. Such positions include, floor directing, social media producer and audio op.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for reading.
