Alum Writes Children’s Book
Paige Hulsey, JO’11, has written a children’s book, A Bad Day Fishing, to help children build independence and perseverance—key skills she learned during her time on campus as a broadcast news major and leader on the Rowing team. Whether it was 5 a.m. practice or working at KCCI-TV as an intern, Paige learned how to work hard and not give up. Her tenacity was rewarded with a variety of producing, multimedia journalism and anchor roles.

Currently, she anchors “Great Day for Kids” in St. Louis, which highlights fun or free activities for children to do with the adults in their lives. She also created KMOV-TV’s “Turn the Page with Paige” segment, where she interviews other children’s book authors and illustrators. A Bad Day Fishing is available at paigehulsey.com or your favorite bookstore.
