This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

The ladies of Sigma Kappa, West Virginia University’s Theta Chi chapter, teamed up with the University Police this week.The WVU Police department taught the ladies of Sigma Kappa a basic self defense course and encouraged them to become involved with the university’s P.R.O.T.E.C.T. program. P.R.O.T.E.CT. stands for Personal Response Options and Tactically Effective Counter Techniques. The classes are offered to females only by Campus Police in partnership with WELLWVU. As a member of Sigma Kappa I would like to thank WVUPD again for taking their time to come teach us a few things, and allowing us to take this information and feel more safe in general and here locally on campus.

  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
