Scott Collins, Treasurer

Treasurer Scott Collins advises the yearbook, website, middle school newspaper and high school newspaper at University Prep in Seattle. He also teaches a three-week immersive broadcast class each spring. Next school year will be his 10th year advising student media. Before teaching, he worked as a local TV news producer. "My goal as WJEA treasurer would be to build off the success of my predecessors to support student journalists across the state. My hope is to shepherd the WJEA budget as it regains solid footing after a couple of years of pandemic instability," Collins said.
