West Oso High School graduate and KRIS 6 Real Time Manager Veronica Flores-Herrera spoke with the students about the education and skills needed to become a journalist.

The event had a huge impact on students including West Oso High School student Olivia Villegas.

"It gives you an idea of all the other jobs that could be out there that you didn't think you could be interested in. Then, you know, these people with these jobs describe what there life is like and then you're like "Huh, turns out that is something I would be interested in," Villegas said.
