Please describe your unique qualifications that make you an ideal candidate for the CMT Summer Job:
Fun, energetic, outgoing and willing to take risks. Graduate of the Bachelor of Radio and Television Arts program at Ryerson, so TV background - PLUS born and raised Calgarian - gotta love the Stampede and all that is COUNTRY! I have fantastic interviewing and communication skills as I reported for CTV Lethbridge, worked for an entertainment production company, and co-hosted for a summer of Mynt TV promoting a local radio station. I am definitely not camera shy, and very professional with an understanding of production procedures and etiquette. I know a great opportunity when I see one.

Tell us what your favourite country song lyric is and why:
I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world - Taylor Swift. It speaks to me at this point in my life. Ive just graduated from University and sometimes when you reach that peak youre not sure what the next step should be. Its about trying to figure out who you are despite what is expected of you at certain points in ones life.
