I started working as a crime reporter in Rome, Italy, more than 10 years ago. Then I moved to Milan where I was a staff writer at Mediaset and then at Corriere della Sera, the largest daily in Italy. In the seven years I worked at the newspaper I was first covering education for the metro section. When I moved to the online section I covered breaking news as well as social conflict and riots in Italy and Europe. I also reported from Iran and Cuba. In 2013 I produced an award winning documentary Capulcu Voices from Gezi about the protest in Istanbul in Turkey. Also in 2013 I won a full scholarship to attend the MA in Journalism concentration Politics at Columbia University. I graduated in May 2014.

Growing up as the daughter of a Catholic-Mexican mother and a Muslim-Palestinian father, I spent most of my childhood asking questions. My early travels between the Middle East and the United States, as well as the switch between three different languages at home, led to the passion I have for exploring the unknown and the constant curiosity of the world around me. For these reasons, international stories have become the main focus and goal in my career. The stories I like to hunt for are personal accounts of an issue, such as profiles, that show the bigger picture of social or global problems and changes. I also love hunting new cultural developments, like how an increased population of immigrants in certain areas has effected the culture of a society. Or the everyday life of a family that was displaced outside its home country because of a war or revolution. As a traveler myself, I am always in search of travel-stories.

I'm going on 32 years old. I have no children and am unmarried. I love traveling and have very little fear when it comes to going anywhere or being around anything. I've lived in 4 states in the last 6 months. I moved to New York to pursue acting and have made an appearance in a movie and two television shows since being here. I'm not afraid to live rough and have once spent nearly ten months camping in the elements. January-October 2019. I'm intelligent and friendly. I love to engage people in thought provoking conversations. After watching the numbers reported by the media on the Corona virus I set out to find the truth. I spent a day on the streets doing interviews and taking my own polls. It was fun but not as exciting as I would have liked it to be. I would love to get involved with reporting. Give me 5 minutes of your time and I'll convince you I am the man for the job.

My name is Kenneth Klemens, I am a multimedia producer and photojournalist focusing on short documentary films in the feature and news genres. My passion is photography, specifically its unique ability to tell a story with a silence and stillness that no other medium can. I held an internship at the Cape Argus Newspaper in Cape Town, South Africa for four months as a news photographer. I believe a story is best delivered when shown rather than told. Visual journalism, bringing my audience to a place or event is what I try to do with each story. I am a University of Connecticut graduate of 2015 and I am currently freelancing for multiple organizations at UConn. I'd like the opportunity to work on a creative team at some publication or website and collaborate with others in editorial work and content gathering.
