Rick Sykes
News Division Manager, News Central 34

"Dana was one of my news anchors for our student-produced nightly newscast for the fall of 2015. It was her first time serving in that role and I was impressed with how seriously she took the responsibilty. She worked well with her fellow teammates and I saw signigicant improvement in her on-air presentation during the semester. I believe that her openness to constructive criticism, her determination to become to best in her chosen field and her willingness to work with others are all characteristics that will serve her well in her future career with any organization."

 "I have had the pleasure of getting to know Dana this year in classes designed to teach students about working in media. Her positive attitude and strong work ethic have made her a joy to have in the classroom. She was consistently determined in response to new challenges, as well as eager to learn, grow and push herself out of her comfort zone. Her determination to succeed also led her to excel in my class, both in the coursework and in her participation in shaping a positive classroom culture. I can think of no one more deserving of an opportunity."

"Having Dana as an intern is every news reporter's dream. From the very beginning, Dana set herself apart. She did not spend her time waiting to be told what to do. From day one, she observed the fabric of the newsroom and oftentimes shadowed me during my nightside shift. The true test came during one of our breaking news stories. While at a double stabbing, Dana observed her surroundings, assisted me as I asked questions, and took detailed notes. When I began having technical problems, Dana stepped up to the plate by helping myself and our photographers get a clean product on air. She has proven to me and many of my colleagues that she is not entering the business just to appear on TV, but rather, to be a voice for the people in the community. If you are considering hiring Dana, I can tell you without a doubt, that you would be making a very wise decision."
