The Next Big Star in Broadcasting!

This week I would like to take some time to recognize someone from the underclassman crowd of the broadcast communications department. This person is someone who has stepped out and shined in their roles in the major. The person that I believe has a magnitude of potential is sophomore Kayla Zoller. I had the pleasure of working with Kayla all fall semester of last year on the college’s remote truck crew, Titan Crew. Kayla was just a freshman last year but that made no difference, she stepped up and took on a lot of responsibility for someone just starting out in the major. Kayla helped us a lot during Titan Crew last year but it is what she’s doing this year that is even more impressive. Kayla has taken over the role of Jill Carle from last year, the graphics director. When working with graphics in the remote truck, it is vital to have all of the graphics you need for the game including player names, team logos and scores. Graphics is a very demanding job because you must be on your toes at all times and know what is going on in the game at all times. I was very impressed that Kayla decided to stay on Titan Crew even when it was not required of her to be and work as hard as she has. When I think of the rest of the sophomore class, I really cannot think of anyone else who has really taken the initiative to get involved so I’m very happy Kayla has!
If I were to offer some advice to this up and coming broadcasting star, it would be dedication. I know from firsthand how hard it is to balance all the different aspects of college and be successful. One attribute you definitely need in this broadcasting department to be successful is dedication. You must get your foot in the door and make sure it stays there. Kayla has already proven she wants to be active in the department so she’s got her foot in the door so to say. But with two years left in her college career, I see even more potential and great things coming from Kayla. I hope she decides to stay with Titan Crew as the graphics director but also get involved in all the broadcasting aspects such as radio and studio TV. Kayla definitely has the potential to be the next big thing in broadcasting, not only at Westminster, but also in the future in the work place!
