"UMTV was the most important component to my educational experience at the University of Miami. There's only so much you can learn about broadcast journalism in a classroom setting. TV news is not for the faint of heart! The deadlines are crazy, the expectations are sky high and the creative possibilities are limitless. UMTV helped me realize and execute my passion for broadcast journalism in a safe, nurturing environment. I became a more effective writer, a more critical thinker and a more creative reporter thanks to the constant practice I was getting every week in the UMTV studios. "
