Summary
My dream is to be apart of production in sports and entertainment. In my 8th grade year, I was able to have the opportunity to public address and DJ my high schools varsity baseball games at Dutchess Stadium and had done so till my Junior year once I played Varsity baseball myself. When out of high school I joined a mens league for baseball (Hudson Valley National Adult Baseball Association). Then our commissioner had openings for DJ and Public Address at Dutchess Stadium for our leagues Stadium games and asked to try it out. I received a positive response from the commissioner and fans at the ballpark. Now that i have enrolled in college for a Communications and Media Arts major, I hope to one day master my Production skills and Camera handling skills for the sports industry. I also have made YouTube videos as practice for Camera work in sports and broadcasting. And with the help of Media Arts, I hope to master those skills as well.
