Erin Patterson McHugh

I started my Journalism career as a volunteer for Update Now. After just one semester, I was named director and producer of daily news briefs. In Spring of 2015, I studied abroad for 4 months in Rome. After four months of a lifetime, I returned to Temple Update and became editing manager just in time to oversee TV3’s transition from analog to HD capabilities. I had the opportunity to report live during TUTV’s weekend-long coverage of Philadelphia’s papal visit. While interning at 6abc this semester, I will also work as Update’s assistant director and bring live news and weather to our viewers. I had the opportunity to be an Associate Producer Intern for Comcast/NBC Universal's Internal Communication Department in the summer of 2016. In the fall of 2016, I had the experience of working for ABC7 in Los Angeles in their Programming and Production Department. My final semester in college I am interning for WPVI-6abc in their news department. After college, I accepted a full-time position in Norfolk, Virginia (market #44) as a Digital Content Producer. Every day I get to be a storyteller, and I couldn't ask for anything better. I was later promoted to Social Media Coordinator after working at 13News Now for a little over two years.Check out my portfolio, résumé, and contact information here:www.erinepatterson.com
