CJ Beird, ATVB Team Member

I am CJ, a team member taking the Advanced TV Broadcast class at the Satellite Center. I first took the TV Production class at Destrehan High School, where I was asked to help record video for the parish. From there I was introduced to Ms. Reid, the Advanced TV Broadcast Facilitator, and was encouraged to take her class. Before taking Advanced TV Broadcast, I took the TV Production class of course, but I also took the Technical Theater course at Satellite Center. With the experience and my plan to further my technical skills, I became the stage manger for the Destrehan High School Choir. I plan to further myself in to the world of film, theatre, and TV through school and through field experiences.
