Joseph Volkerts

New London

Summary

I'm a recent Communications graduate with a background that blends creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. I've worked as a creative director on student-led projects, where I learned how to shape ideas into visual and narrative experiences. My experience as a choreographer taught me how to communicate through movement and lead with intention, while my time as an editorial intern at a magazine gave me a solid foundation in writing, editing, and content creation. I'm drawn to work that allows me to think creatively while staying grounded in clear, effective communication.
