Aspiring Journalist/Broadcaster

About Me
As you look throughout my portfolio/website, you'll see the various experiences that I have endured in order to hopefully gain employment. Whether it be as a digital radio intern interviewing small business owners or establishing relationships as a sales associate, to editing videos and writing sports articles, it's all done in an effort to be part of the broadcast/journalism industry.
In my mid-twenties, looking for part-time or full-time work immediately. As a hispanic, being bilingual has helped me incredibly in either translating or simply being versatile in my communication. Speaking, writing and talking Spanish (and a smidge of Italian) has aided me in these efforts.
As the legendary Vince Lombardi said - “There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.” - I hope you see this for what it is, an honest account of one simply trying his best to find employment in the broadcast/journalism world.
