Sutton Smith

I'm a current graduate student at the University of Alabama studying community journalism. I dream of working in the journalism field as a writer or producer. 

 

I enrolled at the University of Alabama as a News Media Major with a concentration in sports to make this dream as attainable as possible. I knew that Alabama would properly prepare me for this dream; I will continue to work hard every day to attain his goal. I will graduate with his Masters degree in August of 2024. I am a current Graduate Assistant within the Digital Media department at WVUA 23. 

​

I'm from a small town in Georgia, Hamilton. From a young age, I was involved in and around sports settings daily. This involvement grew into a love I shared with my father, in particular, Alabama football. In high school, I decided to pursue a degree in sports media upon enrolling at the University of Alabama. While at Alabama, I narrowed my focus even further in wanting to become a writer, while increasing my skills in many areas on top of writing. By enrolling in the one-year community journalism masters program, I demonstrated dedication to my craft by committing to increase my skill level instead of entering the workforce. By doing this, I made himself as well-rounded and marketable as possible.
