Deitric Murphy is a fourth-year student at Penn State from East Brunswick, New Jersey. He is majoring in Broadcast Journalism while also working on a Theatre minor, Business Certificate and Sports Journalism Certificate. Although he is studying journalism, Murphy aspires to be an actor, primarily for television, after he graduates.

As a journalist, he would like to work for ABC or ESPN as a talk-show host or on-air talent. He feels that this class will teach him how to adapt to other cultures so that he can create stories that connect with different audiences, while also learning how to relate to different groups of people personally.
