My Portfollio: My OWN Story - Elyse Peterson

I attended Brigham Young University on a public speaking scholarship. While at BYU I had many opportunities, including studying abroad in Israel for 5 months and shadowing CNN's Walter Rogers; serving a full time mission in Marseille, France for The Church Of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. While reporting sports for The Daily Universe, I received national recognition for my stories on "Super Bowl Security", and "Three NFL Coaches Ties that Bind." As a result of my writing I landed an exclusive internship at ABC affiliate KSAT 12 in San Antonio, TX where I covered the Dallas Cowboy's and Houston Texans training camps along with Spurs basketball and the Alamo Bowl. After graduating in April 2003 my passion for sports led me to apply for ESPN's DREAM JOB, where I competed for five months in hopes of becoming a sports anchor. I was selected as one of 35 finalists for the show. This experience led me to Pocatello as the morning anchor for two fabulous years. From there I worked the TV Sports Reporter/ Producer for KJZZ TV in Salt Lake City. I felt so lucky to tell stories about the players, and their families, and take the viewers into their lives on and off the court!
