The Start of Something New
While I was an online student last semester, I got an email from Tanner Sullivan, former programming director at WNTI, and Professor Del Re asking me if I wanted to interview for the position of programming director at WNTI.
I thought of course, why not? I already had my own radio show called Living for Music on Tuesdays for three semesters and I really wanted to do more. So, I went for it and went through the zoom interview process with them both and waited for an answer. Although I did not get the Programming Director position, Tanner offered me Creative Director (CD) position at the studio. I said yes, got the position which I was excited for.
What I enjoy about this opportunity is that I will be able to use my creativity in a new way that fits into my schedule. They also knew I would be the best fit for the position from the questions I answered, so I was very happy.
Responsibilities of the Spokesperson
Being the CD at WNTI is more fun for me than stressful. Professor Del Re is very flexible and a great coach. My position consists of creating flyers for the studio and connecting with other directors to make promotions.
I am really here to promote the studio. For me, that is a big responsibility that I take very seriously. I am promoting something very important to me: the school and the other directors, as well as Professor Del Re.
My Feelings About Being the Creative Director
Personally, I really enjoy this position. As I said before, it brings out a lot of different creativity I did not know I had. I didn’t know I was good at making flyers, and now I do. You can learn a lot about yourself when you try something new. One of the best parts of this position is feeling reliable. When Sullivan and Professor Del Re asked me to be the CD, I felt like they trusted me and it made me feel really good about what I was choosing to do for WNTI.
What I see in my future here at WNTI
As I will be at Centenary for the next couple semesters, I really see myself growing as a person through this position, as well as new things coming into the position from what I choose to do. Hopefully with my work with WNTI throughout these next couple years that I can change the future of the studio.
