Picture of You
Goes Here
I’m from Baltimore, Maryland and like watching
a variety of sports. My favorite team would be
the Baltimore Ravens. I enjoy being in a
broadcast studio learning and applying myself
to different activities. Before college I worked
during High School and that helped shape me
into the person I am today. I became more
hardworking, resilient and confident in my
abilities. I know work on my networking in order
to move forward in my sportscasting career to
eventually become a director.

14. Tyrek Bryant
You know how those in the industry typically master one skill and stick with
it? Well, what I do is learn everything surrounding me so that I can step or
fill in whenever needed. That way incase something were to happen I can be
trusted and depended on to do a particular task. In fact, I have done this
multiple times while gaining experience in a broadcast environment.
Industry professionals have told me how I am valuable because of the time I
dedicate to learning the different parts of the studio and willingness to help
others.
