Nathan Conley
I am currently attending the Connecticut School of Broadcasting in Charlotte and will be graduating next spring. My goal is to gain as much experience as possible before starting my career and entering the field full-time.
I currently write a weekly op/ed sports column for four newspapers near my hometown covering major sporting events in the Boston sports scene.
I would really like to broaden my audience in an effort to generate more feedback, both positive and negative, so that I may improve my skills as a writer. Thank you and enjoy!
