Livingston High School's junior prom was canceled due to the Covid Pandemic. So, the AM Wired/TV News class of 2020 at Livingston High school decided to make a virtual prom. Me, as well as fellow students produced the short film. News12 New Jersey got word of the production and highlighted the class. As well, the story also aired on News12 Bronx.
Livingston High School has a very successful television production program, and it has begun sending some of its most successful students to the University of Pittsburgh. I was honored, along with a peer, for being successful at both Livingston High School and the University of Pittsburgh.
I was nominated for two Mid-Atlantic College Emmy Awards during my time at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2023, I was nominated under the category "Arts/Entertainment/Cultural Affairs" as the News Director for a package titled “Trash Bot – The New AI Solution to Recycling/Ansys – Innovations at Pitt And Around the World.” In 2024, I was nominated for the category "Student Production-News Cast" for "Pitt to the Point-March 29th, 2024," as an executive producer.
