EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Phoenix Gulezian’s wish came true Friday.
The Newton 14-year-old is interested in broadcasting, which is why he was ecstatic to visit WPRI 12.
Throughout the day, 12 News Meteorologist Michelle Muscatello gave Gulezian a tour of the station, introduced him to her colleagues and let him sit in on a live newscast.
“It was really nice,” he said. “It’s a lot, but it was fun to see the weather and all of the reports.”
If he ever wound up working for the news, Gulezian said he would want to be a sport reporter.
The opportunity was made possible by Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Gulezian suffers from CHARGE syndrome, which is a disorder that affects numerous parts of the body.
