“Doug, he actually pretty much forced me to be like a DJ for an hour on the radio, on Clarion Radio, and I realized how much I really liked that because I do enjoy going to shows, listening to music. Though, writing turned into something more when the “grand-dad” of The Clarion introduced Cullen to the broadcasting side of media. The part time student began writing articles as a staff writer for The Clarion, not many but a few to get her feet wet. One of her professors mentioned that The Clarion needed some help and she said, “I think I’m going to do that just so that I can get to know people because I was alone, and I just wanted to meet likeminded people.” “I really didn’t know what I wanted to do when I first started school,” said Cullen. After joining The Clarion, Madison College’s student-based newspaper in the spring of 2019, this passion only grew. I have gotten to know myself so much just by moving six hours away.” said Cullen.Īfter the move, Cullen quickly realized it was time to expand her path even more, which led her to Madison College a year later.Īs a journalism and marketing student, with a focus on production, Cullen has a lot of passion for the world of media. “I feel everyone should move away from their hometown at least once just to get to know themselves better. But nothing truly aligned, until she came to Wisconsin. She had envisioned herself once as a veterinarian or the “wife of a rich man,” and even tried many jobs, such as working in fast food to being a caregiver. “I really didn’t have, like, a lot in mind as to what I wanted to be, other than being happy.” said Cullen, the jack of all trades. She was one of those people who sacrificed comfort for opportunity. Louis, MO native, took a courageous leap and moved away from her hometown in 2018 to explore the many options before her.
Little did she know she would be the next general manager for Clarion Radio a year later. “To have someone recognize my voice, I was like, wow, that is awesome!” said Cullen. Cullen shared the memory while laughing, “I’m like, no, that is me!” Only this time is different, a familiar voice appears.Ĭassandra Cullen, a Madison College student, realized her passion for broadcasting after her friend mentioned that she heard a “girl” that sounded just like her on the radio on her way home from work one day. The congested traffic, the light of day turning into dusk and the constant battle of the static on the radio. Everything about the journey is the same as the day before.
