For 25 years I worked at WNET New York Public Media, and their subsidiaries. (July 1998-December 2023). I began working for WLIW21 in July of 1998 as their Receptionist answering numerous incoming phone calls, and occasionally answering member's questions, and sending out various mailings for the station's media department. I did this until 2004. In 2004, I began working in WLIW21's Local Production department as a Production Assistant for the Public Affairs weekly programs "Q & A" and "21 Forum." Soon after, I became the Researcher for both programs. In 2005, I became the Associate Producer of "21 Forum." I did all the research and booking for that show as well.. After "21 Forum" ended, in 2008, I became the Associate Producer for WLIW21's new weekly public affairs program "Crosson & Wells" until 2009. In 2009, I worked as a Researcher for various productions of WNET. In 2011, I began working for NJTV,, which had become a subsidiary of WNET New York Public Media. I was a researcher for their daily news program until November of 2015. From November 2015 until December 2023. I was a researcher for WLIW21's daily public affairs program, "MetroFocus." During the show's run, I also became responsible for posting news articles and information for that night's show on our social media Facebook and Twitter pages. Also, I was responsible for copying and pasting the night's show information on our show's website.
