Didn't know emchan could do so much to you till….

We had the opportunity to interview a valuable member of the Emerson Channel-- Meet Dev, from Long Island, New York, a Media Arts Production student working at the Emerson Channel since his first year!

Dev said, "The Emerson Channel is a fantastic platform to learn about television productions' creative and technical aspects. And that provides significant help in terms of stepping stones in deciding his future career path.?

• During his first year, the second semester at Emerson College, Dev joined Chew on That as the Host. His direct responsibility was collaborating with other show co-hosts and guest hosts to facilitate their on-screen conversations.?

• During his third semester (Sophomore year), he was Host and the Associate Producer for Chew on That, In Studio Lighting Designer for Third Bird, and Xpression Operator for Good Morning Emerson. In this last role, he transferred the lower thirds and over-the-shoulders into the program and ensured they went live at the correct time.?

Dev shared that his experience at the Emerson Channel has taught him much about lighting equipment within the Tufte Studio and the control room. He believes that communication and confidence are the essential soft skills he gained throughout his journey.

He said, "communication has been vital in every production. I've learned that the final product becomes much better when I communicate effectively. Confidence also plays a role in that you must be confident in the questions you raise and the skills you have."
