Farris "The Intern"

Farris the Intern

I am a journalist in the making, recently moving to Toronto from Peterborough to attend the University of Guelph-Humber for Journalism. With only one year left of high school I decided what I wanted to pursue as a career and this was it! CTV is where it all started; my stepfather introduced me to many people in the business, as he is their military analyst. In addition my mother, Darlene, is a co-host for the talk show "Daytime," on Rogers Television.

It is my first year of University and already I feel I have accomplished a lot. Behind the scenes, I have learned tremendously when volunteering for CHEX Television in Peterborough and Rogers Television in the Simcoe-Grey Region. CTV also took me under their wing for the special 60th Anniversary of D-day in France, and the Shania Twain live at Dundas Square both working as the assistant guest coordinator. It was a privilege to work with amazing people like Beverly Thompson and Seamus O'Regan. On the writing side of journalism I have done some freelance work for Peterborough This Week, a newspaper that is distributed free to all Peterborough citizens each week.

In the future I would like to venture into entertainment or sports on television due to the amount of passion I have for the two. I am not an athlete or anything, I just love watching sports, and music is something I could not live without.

If you are an upcoming artist, musician, actress or have an interesting entertainment related story....I want to hear about it, email me.
