With every person interviewed, every emotion recorded, every news story produced, Nickelle Smith becomes even more enthusiastic about becoming a multimedia journalist.

Current roles a reporter at a NBC/CBS television affiliate, a reporter/anchor for WUFT-FM(NPR), and reporter/anchor for WUFT-TV(PBS) have allowed Nickelle to become more passionate about her craft while improving her skill-set. Getting to shoot, write, and edit television news packages for WUFT-TV's award winning First at Five newscast has given Nickelle the experience of working under pressure to deliver prompt, accurate, and well produced news stories. She enjoys the thrill of working under deadlines, and the responsibility of serving the public makes it even more worthwhile.

As a rising fourth year Telecommunication-News major at the University of Florida, Nickelle also serves as President of the Gator Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists. Upon graduation in May 2014, she plans on utilizing her newsroom experience to earn a position as a general assignment television news reporter. She cannot wait to get out into the field and tell great stories that can touch the hearts and lives of many people.
