Professional Info
I've always put multimedia as a priority. I've been praised by my peers for being a hard worker. From writing for multiple publishing companies such as The Argonaut, managing Vandal Nation, filming multiple sporting events, and program directing at KUOI. Reliability has never been an issue and I'm willing to excel at each task I'm given.
