We feed off of each other and share a similar sense of humour which adds to the fun. Despite the early hours, I love my shift. I get home before noon and have the rest of the day to do what I need to do. You have to be willing to adapt because news reporting is constantly changing. From new technology to being social media savvy, we are required to be willing to continually learn in our industry.
We are more engaged with our viewers than ever before. You have to be willing to take on new tasks to stay relevant. It is vital to get the confirmations and updates on issues from the chopper so that we can relay the information to the viewers. When I fill in for weather, I consult with our weather team for their analysis on weather occurrences. For interviews, our producer fills me in on background information for a guest and any changes to the interview layout.
I try to form my reports around the big issues with a bit of a fun attitude. You need to laugh sometimes when it comes to dealing with traffic issues in the city. I understand the trials and tribulations of the Edmonton area commuter. In the winter months, we deal with poor road conditions and spin outs galore.
In the summer, we have construction projects on the go. While we love fresh paved roads and potholes that are filled quickly, we dislike the process at times. When I report on traffic, I try to remember who I do this for: that person who needs to know what road to avoid today.
I try not to get worked up about it. I admit though, it can be frustrating when the traffic report I deliver is overlooked because of the outfit I am wearing or my appearance.
I would love to be with the Global News Morning for a very long time. We are seeing so many changes to conventional television and the integration of digital media. I wish to continue to learn and adapt to the changes in our industry. We strive to provide the latest information for our viewers on all platforms. Plain and simple, my goal is to continue doing what I love. It is a mix of blood and bond but I have always been surrounded by supportive people who have encouraged and enabled me to pursue my career in journalism.
Here in Alberta, I got my start in a major market gig behind the mic courtesy of the loveable Chris Scheetz. He arranged for Bruce Bowie to mentor me. When I moved over to television, Mike Sobel was such a huge help. He offered great advice as I was stepping into a new role in front of the camera. He advised me not to panic, to capitalize on the moment, and to just relax.
This industry is evolving. We need to roll with it in order to stay on top. My advice to readers: maintain your credibility. Credibility is vital for any successful journalist. Always check your facts. Daintre is always interested in opportunities to speak with school children in their classrooms or auditoriums and welcomes requests to do so. Participation is vital; we are all part of a general community and we need to understand that despite any differences we have, we are all part of one bigger family.
As a panelist she spoke to the audience about leadership, her own career, and those who inspired her to achieve her goals — strong women who made a positive difference in her life. A role model, mentor and advocate for women, children and animal rescue groups, Daintre is a strong believer in education and promotes it at every opportunity. Not only will you have a better life, but more importantly, you will inspire others to do the same. This is just one of many success stories taking place in our Indigenous communities and we need to share them with everyone.
Daintre is an avid supporter of animal rights groups and in fact is foster-mother to three African elephants, an undertaking she became involved in after watching a documentary about the plight of the vanishing African elephant, hunted by poachers for their ivory tusks.
Locally, she donates her time helping to promote animal rescue groups. I emcee events and fundraisers to help ensure that these costs can be met and that we can help as many animals as possible. Sharing these types of stories is not easy and in fact is painful, but there are no easy solutions. I think that by sharing stories with others, survivors will be able to come to terms with the past, so they can experience a better life in the future.
As a community, we need to listen, and we need to step up and support those who are trying to move on in life. Outside of the Global Edmonton studios Daintre enjoys jogging with Virgil and target practicing at the indoor pistol range. I hope she stays here forever. I believe her name was Gillian. She spoke highly of you. Great figure also.
