Maura Burke

I graduated from SUNY Brockport in New York State with a degree in broadcast journalism and relations. When I was a sophomore in college, I started getting involved in campus media, working at the television station and radio station on campus. I was also vice president of the PR club, and all that networking and involvement in different clubs really led to a lot of success. From the campus radio station, I got an internship at a Christian radio station, and that experience opened doors for me. Now I work for media outlets such as iHeartRadio, where I'm a broadcast producer. I go in for early shifts and late shifts, and some days I have both. I produce people's news shows, and today I produced a 4-hour long news show where we had people from Fox News on air and the mayor of our city. I also broadcast with minor league baseball at nighttime. My political journalism has been a really good experience that has led to a lot of national conferences I've attended and connections with women and Christians. I really just wanted to make an impact in my local community and nationally, which is why I got into media and journalism.
