ABOUT ME

My name is Mikenzi Schulze; I am a graduate of Texas A&M University with a degree in Telecommunications and a minor in Sports Management. I am a hardworking individual with a valuable amount of diverse experiences in the media industry. I love to communicate with others, meet new people, and coordinate events. 

While pursuing my degree at Texas A&M, I worked at TexAgs as their Media and Event Coordinator. I was given the duties of budgeting and coordinating all home tailgates and all other events. On top of this I was in charge of all social media accounts. Due to my success in these positions, I also began working on their daily radio show as their “Social Center Personality”. During my last semester at school I was given the opportunity to intern as a Multi-Media Journalist at the top news station in Houston, KPRC Channel 2. This position enhanced my communication skills as I acted as an Anchor and reported on different sporting events across the Houston area. After my completion at Texas A&M I accepted the position as the lead Morning News Anchor at KLST in San Angelo, Texas, where I also conducted live Lifestyle interviews.

Aside from my outgoing personality, I would describe myself as a positive influence, very organized and a quick learner. My passion and compassion, along with strong work ethic and dedication to helping others will be a huge asset to helping me reach my goals.
