Summer reporter joins ranks

Hey there, time traveller!

I’m Alex, the new intern writing for The Carillon and a student at Red River College Polytechnic, where I just finished my first year.

I’m from Lorette, and a graduate of the best school in the southeast, Collège régional Gabrielle-Roy. I also graduated from the Louis Riel Arts & Technology Centre, where I learned cameras, radio and video production.

After high school I went straight to RRC Polytech, to eventually become a journalist. At 13, I thought I wanted to become a sports announcer, slowly that evolved to being an anchor, a videographer and now a journalist.

What I like most about being a journalist is getting to meet people from all over the place and learning about their different experiences and stories. I like writing, and seeing how a story comes together.

In my spare time I play tennis, umpire baseball, and am a Winnipeg Jets fan.

I’m looking forward to writing in the community I’ve called home my entire life, and getting to know it even better.

If you see me out in the wild, (probably on a baseball diamond) say hi. I’d love to chat about work, baseball, life or more baseball.
