Hello! I am currently a senior broadcast journalism major with a minor in digital media trends and analytics at the Pennsylvania State University. I am also the host of my own talk show, Talia Talks, on Penn State’s radio station, The Lion 90.7 FM. On Talia Talks, I interview people with unique and diverse backgrounds and perspectives about current issues that impact our generation. My goal is to eventually have a syndicated radio or network television talk show where I can learn from others and share their different viewpoints and stories with the world.
