About Stella

I have been a member of the New Jersey Army National Guard for over 15 years. I have been to Iraq twice in 2005 and from 2008 to 2009. Currently, I am a Staff Sergeant awaiting promotion to Sergeant First Class. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Washington State University, Pullman, WA; a Master of Arts degree in Advertising, and a Master of Arts degree in Telecommunication, both from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI; and a Master of Arts degree in Book and Magazine Publishing from New York University, New York, NY. My real passion is to start a career in televison broadcasting. My passion is to work on a television news program, television news talk show or television news documentary program like 60 Minutes, Dateline, and 48 Hours. I love the news, and conducting research to find information that will have an impact on people's lives. Also, I love contributing towards informing people on what is going on worldwide. Currently, I am an Assistant Editor, and I want to move into a new career by going into television broadcasting, which has been my dream career. I need a mentor that will give me great advice on how to transition into a television broadcasting career. I am not afraid to work hard, find hard to get information, and do whatever it takes to get into the industry. Furthermore, I have acted in an off off broadway play, and participated in fashion modeling events.
