Lyann Walsh '04
Investigative Video Journalist
Texas Watchdog
Ever since she was a little girl, Lynn has found herself glued to the TV watching breaking news stories. She has always loved the fast paced environment that comes with the news industry and the opportunity to inform people about what's going on around them.
Lynn is currently a video journalist reporter for Texas Watchdog, a news website and training center that scrutinizes the actions of government agencies, bureaucracies, and politicians in the state of Texas.
She feels very fortunate for the opportunities that have come her way throughout the current trying times in the news business, and is extremely thankful for her great support system that has always encouraged her to follow her dreams. Being a journalist, Lynn has learned the importance of networking. She says, "Meet as many people as possible and experience life to its fullest. The more you experience the more you can impact a person's life and make a difference in the world."
