I like the design of your character, and I like the idea. I think she has a lot fo potential, but here are a few thoughts:
1. Your alternate poses are not very dynamic. I would have liked to see more of her personality in them. Maybe a sketch of her walking in the rain with a busted umbrella, or running to catch the subway, or sitting at her breakfast table absent-mindedly stirring her coffee. Stuff that tells us more about her story.
2. If you are incorporating a prop, please be sure to look for reference if it is a known object, but perhaps is not something you draw a lot of. In this case, the microphone seems like a fairly sterotypical short-hand for a mic. Microphone come in a lot of neat shapes and sizes, and a little bit of visual research might give you an idea for something you didn't previously think of.
3. I like your color choices, but I also think they could be a tad bolder. I do think they are appropriate for her personality though.
Overall, it is an interesting and fun character with a lot of potential, but I think it could have used an hour or two more work to really shine. Your pencil lines seem to be getting more confident vs. the sketches from the very first class.

Nice work!
Oh, and I LOVE your Bogey re-interpretation. Very dyanmic and fun.
