So, I just got back from a week in D.C. It was my first step to my career. I had two interviews, made some wonderful contacts, and attempted to prepare myself for the cold!

Whilst in D.C. I met up with Lynn alum, Nelson Lewis. Nelson works on Greta Live Wire at Fox.  He achieved the Mary Henke Excellence in Communication Award from Lynn, the same award I won last year. Nelson has really done extremely well, and I have every faith he is going to go on to achieve many great things.

We met up for lunch and a “4 questions for” interview by the Capitol. The interview came out wonderfully (so keep checking the website for its launch). Nelson gave me a tour of the very impressive Fox newsroom. And, I of course left him with one of our Lynn Bobbleheads: Lynn Knight (who is not only well-traveled, but an avid enthusiast of surfing, the arts, and politics). You can request to be Lynn Knights friend on facebook, and if you have any great photo ideas, send him a message and he may visit you.

One of the last big projects I completed was The day in the life of a Lynn student-athlete. Kyle Conrad, a sophomore on the Lynn soccer team was my victim. Carolina, our student photographer, and myself followed Kyle around for a full day, documenting his every move. He was a wonderful subject, and his personality really shows in the photographs. I had always wondered what went on in the day of a student-athlete, so it was an opportunity for me to learn more about campus life too.

The video can also be found on our Lynn Facebook Page… where you can find many many more video projects and photo albums too.
