SARAH SIMPSON

Hi! My name is Sarah Simpson and I am currently pursuing a career in

video production. As my first full-time professional experience, I have been working

as a Newscast Director at CBS 21, WHP-TV since May 2022. I recently graduated from 

The Pennsylvania State University with a B.A. in Film Production, and minors in Journalism

and Spanish. In college, I was the President of my university's student-run television network,

Penn State Network Television (PSNtv). Additionally, for 3 years I was the Director of 

PSN News, a live weekly news broadcast produced by PSNtv. I was also a member

of Penn State's Centre County Report, where I directed 

weekly live newscasts using Ross 'Overdrive' technology.

I'm from a small town in Westmoreland County, just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. 

Growing up, I always loved watching television shows and films and hoped to make my own someday. I began studying video production my freshman year of high school through my school's program, and haven't been able to put a camera down since. I am very fortunate to have a career doing what I love, and look forward to gaining more experience in the media industry. In the future,

I am open to entry-level roles in the television or film industries, primarily

directing live production, camera work, video editing, and writing.
