Loukia Zigoumis \u2013 BA Mass Communication (1999)<\/p>\n

Graduating from Carleton’s Communication program opened many doors for me. It allowed me to intern at CBS TV in Washington, D.C., as well as at Entertainment Tonight, in California. I also fast-tracked the two-year Broadcast Journalism program at Loyalist College. After graduation, I worked in television and radio, both on-air and as a news writer. Currently, I work in Communications and Social Media, and am a professional lifestyle and travel blogger. I contribute to various magazines, like Ottawa At Home<\/em>, and LUXE Magazine<\/em>, and make appearances on CTV, Daytime, and Breakfast Television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
