Growing up, Diamond never saw herself becoming a Broadcast Journalism student, but her career choice came as no surprise to her mother.

"My mom has told me stories about how when I was a young child I used to politely ask my friends to go home before the 5 o'clock news. Then I would proceed to pull up a seat in my pink and white rocking chair and watch my favorite news anchors."

Diamond started to seriously consider Broadcast Journalism as a career during an elective journalism class her senior year of high school.

"I decided that I would love to be the person that people look to for information on local, national and international events and issues. My short-term goal is to work at a local station in the area, but I don't want to stop there. I want to have my own talk show one day; a combination of Oprah, Tyra Banks and Ellen Degeneres."

WKU has already provided her with real world experience. Starting her sophomore year, Diamond has had the opportunity to use equipment that students at other universities will not see until they are in the field.

"I've also gotten the privilege of learning from great professors who have held positions at news stations, ranging from television reporters and anchors to photographers."

Hands-on Learning. Passion for Work. Just a few more ways WKU is becoming A Leading American University with International Reach.
