- What is your favorite part of being a member of FIU-ABJ?
FIU-ABJ is a great place for like-minded individuals that are passionate about communications can share ideas and build long-lasting relationships. I love meeting people with same ambition as me that are working toward a common goal.
- What are your plans after graduation?
I plan on earning a position at Garrett multimedia group and eventually becoming a radio personality. I love communications and broadcast radio, so it would be awesome to use what I’ve learned at FIU in the communications field.
- What is your most memorable moment at FIU thus far?
Each and every Friday I release a vlog (video blog) along with an audio recording on my Soundcloud account. “This Just End” is my talk show where I discuss student topics, celebrity gossip, as well as local and national news. When I have other students listen to my show, they always give me constructive feedback. I love hearing their reactions to my show because it encourages me to keep advancing my show while also introducing me to new people on campus!
