TARA-JEAN MCDONALD VITALE: Broadcaster, Producer, Journalist, Blogger, NJ Discover TV, Co-Host, Marketing Consultant, Mother, and Hired Calvin Schwartz, 1st Journalism gig CONTACT INFO: instagram.com/tarajeanmcdtv facebook.com/TaraJeaMcDonaldVitale https://yourstrulytj.com/ https://twitter.com/TaraJeanTV Tara-Jean is a versatile journalist who has produced numerous segments for NJDiscover. Experienced in Production and Post Production of TV Commercials, Live News Coverage, TV Entertainment Segments and Live Theatrical Events. She studied Communications specializing in Marketing at Fordham University, New York City, but her passion for creativity and expression moved her beyond a Bachelor of Arts degree to where she also studied Theatre and Performance at both Fordham and Roundabout Theatre. Her incandescent spirit took her ultimately to the stage and television in Metropolitan New York as an aspiring actress. Along the way, with a few blinks of an eye, Tara-Jean was married and raising three young daughters. Next, Tara-Jean harnessed that spirited energy, becoming editor of Our Town, a Monmouth County newspaper and appearing as a TV host for local Channel 77. The next perfect fit for Tara-Jean was to channel her unlimited energy in central Jersey working with NJ Discover as TV Host, Reporter, Writer and Producer. She consistently brought a special warmth, caring, insight and humanity to her stories and her reputation flourished with on sight reporting about Hurricane Sandy, homelessness and Tent City, pervasive hunger in New Jersey, and Jersey’s iconic music and film scene. She is the epicenter of what’s happening around the county and state. Almost evolutionary, Tara-Jean went on to co-host NJ Discover LIVE radio and cable TV and still manages time (quintessential juggler) to be Reporter, Spokes Model, Copywriter, Producer, Journalist and now Sr. Editor for Fashion Haunts Magazine.
