“However,” says the 1995 broadcast journalism grad, “there were two professors who really cemented broadcasting as my career path.
“Robin Kaler and Mitch Kazel were as passionate as I was about writing, reporting and television in general.

“Robin and Mitch gave me confidence and set the foundation of this would-be career path and I will never forget their influence on me.”
