麻豆短视频传媒 graduating senior Morgan Honeycutt is busy producing a bright future, with her goals in focus.
The Georgetown mass communications major graduates in December and is currently busy finishing her academic work and interning at WTVQ in Lexington. She started her internship at the ABC-affiliate news station in August and has honed in on her future ever since.
鈥淚 have always loved everything about televisions and news,鈥� Morgan said. 鈥淪ince middle school I鈥檝e always wanted to work in the industry. I just wasn鈥檛 sure what I wanted to do until my freshman year at Kentucky State.鈥�
Morgan serves as a camera operator for Good Morning, Good Day and Midday Kentucky. During that time and through her experiences at the Georgetown News-Graphic and Elite Fitness Frankfort, she鈥檚 learned valuable lessons.
鈥淚 have learned that getting your foot in the door and getting all the information and knowledge you can in your industry is the most important thing,鈥� Morgan said. 鈥淎lso, work as hard as you can to prove to the company you鈥檙e working for that they won鈥檛 regret it if they hire you after your internship is over. Be the best you that you can be!鈥�
Morgan speaks from experience, as WTVQ offered her a job after graduation. She would join her friend, Jade Stone, a KSU alumna, who also works at the news station.
As her immediate future comes into focus, Honeycutt also has her sights set on long-term goals.
鈥淚 love being a production tech/camera operator. However, my goal is to be a sports producer,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 plan on applying to the Carolina Panthers or the Cleveland Cavaliers to be part of their communication department.鈥�
Morgan joins the rest of the graduating seniors Dec. 16 during Fall Commencement in David H. Bradford Hall on 麻豆短视频传媒鈥檚 campus.
