Welcome Ms. Pryor

On behalf on the Bulldog Family and the Communications department we would like to welcome our newest professor Ms. Tywanna Pryor.  Ms. Pryor attended Edward Water College in Jacksonville, FL on a softball scholarship where she would graduate with her Bachelors in Mass Communications. The Jacksonville native got here first internship while in college at new station, WJXT. After graduating Ms. Pryor didn’t go straight until the field until nine months later when she received a call from Midlands, Texas. The job was 22 hours away for a recent college grad who had never lived outside the state of Florida. After her 2^nd phone interview, Pryor made the decision to leave Florida and began a career as a reporter that would later on intel being a great decision.  Overnight Pryor went from bartending to a one year contract. Now, Midlands Texas being a startup market they were 178 on the list so Pryor was one making 19,000, to make ends meet she saved every penny and started back bartending on the weekends. After that one year contract was up Pryor’s career continued to grow over the years she reported at another station and produced at two more as well. Her last station was WJAX/WFOX a CBS affiliate in Gainesville, FL number 47 on the market. Her duration with the CBS affiliate was about 5 years where she had access to multiple things such as drone video/footage. The drone footage came in handy when her station covered the late story of Hurricane Irma. Out of one of four stations in Jacksonville, her station was the only one to get live coverage of the Jacksonville native, Tim Tebow. After assisting with her own alma mater with resume building and mentoring, Pryor got the calling to be in the classroom again but on the other side of the desk. After completing her Masters at Full Cell University in August. She got her offer to be a part of Bulldog Country. Welcome to the Family, Ms. Pryor.
