I like telling hidden, character-driven stories with a video camera. I have a passion for people and a dedication to excellence. I've been doing journalism since I was 10 years old and there's not enough I could learn about the art of telling stories. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in telecommunication and film with a focus on sports broadcasting, I decided to share my passion with future generations as a 2013 Teach For America corps member where I taught 7th grade for two years. I am a Master's of Journalism Candidate at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University where I am grateful to be able to focus on documentary storytelling. I've produced videos with social justice, sports, music/entertainment, and political themes. I'm appreciative of my past experiences and excited for what's next.

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.

My name is Anna, I'm a freelance videographer, camera assistant, and editor in Denver. My background is in journalism. Working creatively to connect people, share what's important and uncover solutions — I'm here for it. Some of my most animated moments in journalism happened while working in Washington, D.C., creating short documentary style content covering social justice issues. I solved problems in the field to turn content on same-day deadlines, and developed longer projects. I've also taken on roles on teams as an assistant camera, production assistant, videographer, and editor. I enjoy learning more about various types of productions from commercial to narrative. My longterm goal is to grow in cinematography and editing and work on a documentary team, because what I really enjoy is collaboration and learning from creators around me.
