Derrick Davis
How did majoring in English prepare you for your career?
Upon graduating high school, I knew I wanted to work in sports, but I wasn’t sure in what capacity. After becoming more comfortable with writing through assignments in English classes, I knew that sports journalism was the career path for me.
How has majoring in English enriched your life?
I feel confident in my ability to articulate my thoughts and ideas to employers, co-workers, family and friends.
What advice or insight do you have for VSU alumni and students interested in your career field?
Write early and often. There is no substitute for experience. Also, don’t be afraid to be creative in your writing — you’ll learn what works for your style and what doesn’t.
