Teeth Whitening On-The-Go

Posted on May 9, 2018May 9, 2018 by Katie Storm in Video

With a job that puts me in front of the camera, I’m constantly making sure my hair is under-control and my makeup is set, but another feature that comes to mind before I grab the microphone and step in front of the camera is my smile. I would buy whitening strips to help keep my smile bright, but the results I wanted weren’t coming the way I hoped and while I’m always on the go, I didn’t have time to go to a professional whitening clinic either.

I finally found the best quick and easy way to keep my smile bright by using the “Smile Brilliant” whitening treatment.

After purchasing your whitening treatment, you’re sent a kit in the mail where you make your own personal molds of your top and bottom rows of teeth at home, then you send them right back to their factory.

I waited no more than 6 days and my own personal whitening trays arrived at my front door! I love the way that Smile Brilliant made my personal trays, but they also catered to my personal needs. My teeth have always been very sensitive and hard to endure whitening treatments because of it. Smile Brilliant sent me the ‘Whitening Gel’ and also ‘Desensitzing Gel’ that I was able to put on after my whitening sessions, it helped with my sensitivity and made whitening my teeth a more bearable process!

After 4 weeks, the teeth I thought were decently white turned out to be brighter than ever after using the “Smile Brilliant” whitening treatment. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a way to get a brighter smile but in a more affordable, personal and easy way!

St. Cloud Rox | Sports Reporter

Posted on August 6, 2017August 6, 2017 by Katie Storm in Baseball, Sports, Sports Broadcasting, Video

Wow! I absolutely can NOT believe it’s already August, this summer has absolutely flown by. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m more than excited to get back to work at SCSU for my senior year but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sad the summer of 2017 is soon coming to a close.

I wanted to make a little post and catch everyone up on what I’ve busy with the past few months. Besides seeing old friends, catching up with family on the weekends and serving a couple tables here and there at a restaurant on Lake Minnetonka, I had some AMAZING hands on experiences in the broadcast field.

As some might know, I was busy commuting to St. Cloud this summer covering the St. Cloud Rox Baseball team which is made up of top collegiate baseball players in the country. I worked with an amazing crew that I was able to befriend, goof around with and most importantly, learn from.

My main duties were performing post-game interviews. One interview was immediately after the game concluded that was broadcasted on the stadium microphone and the interviews following were for the team’s social media outlets.

Here are some interviews from this past summer:

Summer in Style

Posted on July 8, 2017May 9, 2018 by Katie Storm in Video

This summer of 2017 has been a busy one. I am a reporter for the St. Cloud Rox baseball team, I am a product model for a television shopping network and I also am a server at a restaurant on Lake Minnetonka. I’m ALWAYS on the move, especially with 3 jobs.. but I’m perfectly okay with it. I always loved staying busy from a young age while growing up in a family of 7.. it’s something I’ve been used to forever.

Although, something that makes being so busy a little challenging is how to plan ahead of the game pertaining to my accessories.

Earlier this summer I found something that I never can leave behind, my JORD wooden watch. It’s the perfect summer accessory for me as it’s light brown warm color matches with just about any outfit I wear. In addition to it’s compatibility with my outfits, it’ durable as well! From reporting in the early end of the day to serving tables later in the day.. this watch carries me through it all.

NSIC College Baseball Championships

Posted on May 30, 2017May 30, 2017 by Katie Storm in Video

I had the opportunity of covering the NSIC College Baseball Tournament held in St. Cloud, Minnesota a couple weekends ago where the top ranked Mankato Mavericks clinched the Conference Championship. It was a tough weekend for the St. Cloud State Huskies who had home field advantage. They fell to Mankato for their first loss of the weekend and worked their way back from the losers bracket to get a second chance but unfortunately were unable to capitalize against the strong Mavericks bullpen. A great weekend filled with great competition that I was grateful to be around! Here are the post-game interviews I had with Mankato players as well as Head Coach Magers from the Championship game on Saturday, May 13th, 2017.

The transfer to SCSU

Posted on September 13, 2016May 1, 2017 by Katie Storm in Hockey, News, Sports, Sports Broadcasting, St. Cloud State University, Video

Since I was a kid, I always had the dream to achieve a career in Sports Broadcasting. It started when I was younger reporting to my mom about every play my brothers were apart of on the ice. I loved proclaiming the updates and exaggerating the intensity of games and eventually realized that sometime in my future, I would want to give a report to not only my mom about a game, but thousands and thousands of people.

That being said, I knew I wanted to go to a school that offered the necessary programs and proper classes to get me closer to making this dream a reality. Safe to say, by my senior year of high school, I veered from this vision as I accepted an invitation to play basketball at the University of Hawai’i at Hilo. The experiences I had in Hawai’i were some of the best and I learned a lot about myself as a person and also as a student. Long story short, the jump to the islands was amazing but I had to give myself a reality check. It wasn’t getting me closer to my career goals. After lots of consideration and discussions with my friends, teammates and coaches, I decided to travel back home to Minnesota and transfer to St. Cloud State University where I could get to business and get this ball rolling.

I had always heard of the awards SCSU students in the Mass Communications department received but had never really noticed until I started my first day walking into the tv studios. I knew that this school was the right pick for me. The many clubs and shows to get involved in kept me busy right away and in only my first year I learned the most I’ve ever gotten to learn about sports broadcasting. I am so excited to continue my studies at this school and look forward to what more I will be able to learn in the months to come.

One of my favorite things about St. Cloud State is the hockey production team we have here called “Husky Productions.” HP is a student run sports broadcast that displays the SCSU hockey games to over 30,000 households. It’s about as real as it gets and I love the feeling it brings of a real-world sports broadcast.

I attached a feature I made from last season on the Husky Stats that were standout at the end of the 2015-2016 season. Make sure to check it out!

For now, I look forward to what more I can learn in the remainder of my time at St. Cloud State.

My summer internship at FOX 9

Posted on September 13, 2016September 15, 2016 by Katie Storm in News, Sports, Sports Broadcasting, Video

This past summer of 2016, I had the incredible opportunity to be a summer intern at FOX 9-KMSP in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

I was stationed in the sports department under Jim Rich who is a very well known sports anchor for FOX 9 news. I still remember my first day at FOX, I walked into the studios nervously as I was extremely intimidated of such a professional, busy atmosphere of people I didn’t know and jobs I didn’t understand. Although, after only a couple minutes in the studios, it wouldn’t take long for me to feel right at home.

Every member of the staff didn’t fail to introduce themselves and make sure I knew that I could come to them if I had any questions or needs which made me feel more comfortable having a good deal of support on my first day.

As the days and weeks carried on, I was able to do and experience many different things. Some days, I would be sent out with reporters from the news channel to go and gather stories and shoot packages in different areas of the metro and then other days I would be meeting and interviewing different iconic coaches and players in the sports world. It was amazing that I was able to not only focus solely on sports but also the news world and learn how the both of them operate.

All in all, I learned the operations of news, how to hold myself in front of a camera, conduct interviews, advertise social media accounts and many more things! Looking back, the time absolutely flew by. It makes me sad to think about how much I miss it but I continue to remind myself about the friends I was able to make and connections I was able to establish.

I am beyond thankful for the many things I took away from my internship with FOX 9. The memories, the connections, the camera and news knowledge but my favorite thing was that I got to take away several videos of myself in studio where FOX 9 recorded me doing different sportscasts and sent me with copies that I can take and use for the rest of my life.

Attached is a video of me from this past summer down at Viking’s Training Camp where I was able to record my own stand up and assemble my very own news story with the help of photographer Nate Zinnel, Anchor Hobie Artigue and other members of staff.
