Hello Everybody. As the new year in Media Studies unfolds, I'm excited to embark on a fresh journey with a new set of companions by my side. While I cherish the experiences and memories I've built with my previous group, I'm drawn to the unique opportunities and perspectives that a new dynamic can offer. My current team comprises individuals who share my enthusiasm for the subject and possess complementary strengths that I believe will foster an incredibly productive and stimulating environment. David Vidal, a natural-born storyteller, brings a wealth of creative ideas and infectious enthusiasm to the table. He possesses a keen understanding of visual storytelling and a knack for crafting compelling narratives. Corvelest Walker, a meticulous researcher and insightful analyst, adds a layer of critical thinking and intellectual rigor to our team. His ability to delve deep into complex issues and present them in a clear and concise manner is invaluable. He also has a knack for identifying trends and predicting future developments in the media landscape. Together, David and Corvelest create a dynamic duo that balances creativity with critical thinking, making our team well-equipped to tackle any project that comes our way. More than just collaborators, I'm excited to build strong bonds with my new teammates. We share a sense of humor, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine passion for storytelling through the diverse lenses of media. I anticipate countless learning opportunities, stimulating discussions, and moments of laughter as we navigate the exciting world of media studies together. While venturing into uncharted territory can be daunting, I embrace this change with open arms. The prospect of learning from and alongside diverse minds fuels my excitement and motivates me to explore new avenues of creativity. I'm eager to see what remarkable projects will blossom from this new team and the unique synergy we create. So, as the curtain rises on a new chapter in my media studies journey, I stand poised and ready alongside David and Corvelest, brimming with anticipation for the knowledge, experiences, and friendships that lie ahead. Together, we'll embark on a collaborative journey of exploration, discovery, and creative expression.

ALL ABOUT ME!

I was born in the United States of America, but when I was two years of age my family and I moved to Argentina in 2009. Of course, my parents grew up there and after we moved there, we stayed for approximately 6 years. The reason we had to move out is because since 2016 Argentina has been having an economic crisis.

Almost every class that I go to I have a friend I can talk to, a companion I can share experiences with, and most important a fri...
