Karlee Spirit Profile – Rachel Hirsch
Karlee Spirit, a prospective communications major aspires to be a sports reporter, but sparks an interest in journalism to find any similarities to eventually implement into the workforce.
Spirit, an Ocean City, New Jersey native is a sophomore at Wake Forest University where she plays on the women’s field hockey team.
“Being an athlete, I really wanted to stay in sports because I really enjoy the competitiveness and I’ve always felt comfortable with public speaking so I wanted to find a profession that combined the two.”
Curiosity in wanting to know how to properly conduct an interview left her searching for a journalism course. She feels as if journalism will help to inform her on the rights and wrongs and ins and outs that are so closely related to that of a reporter.
“It’s one thing to watch an interview, but another to actually be the one doing it.”
Spirit hopes that the life of a journalist will only better her hopeful career as a sports reporter.
