About Me
A Pittsburgh native, Allyson has always had a passion for media. After graduating from Peters Township High School, she went to Ithaca College to pursue a degree from the noted Roy H. Park School of Communications. She graduated Cum Laude in May 2019 with a B.S. in Television- Radio and a minor in Art History.
Previously, Allyson was given the privilege to intern for 90.5 WESA, Pittsburgh's NPR station. This was her first real taste of the news world, as she was conducting over the phone and on site interviews, photographing events to be used for web pieces, and generally just keeping a pulse on the city's news scene. In addition, she also shadowed the producer of the station's podcast, Good Question!, and was able to help record and edit it. She also interned at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium where she split her time between social media promotions and editing One Wild Place, the Zoo's podcast. She filmed and edited many videos that were published on the Zoo's official Facebook page. As a fresh graduate, Allyson is excited to get into the working world. Check out a few examples of her work below and feel free to reach out to talk about work opportunities! |
