During my senior year, I participated in the Independence High School Senior Project that allowed me the opportunity to shadow at Fox 8 News, a television station in downtown Cleveland, Ohio that I watch regularly. My friend and I shadowed their digital sales manager, who gave us insight to the sales department at Fox 8 News. I learned tips of a sales account executive, sat in the newsroom, and went on a client call. Unlike what you see on television, I experienced the less glamorous side or the business that goes into deciding the advertisements seen during production, and the relationship among digital, local, and national sales. Throughout my time at Fox 8 News, I realized that I would be interested in going into sales marketing or management, and this experience connected my educational endeavors to my future goals.
