ACTIVITIES
I do a lot of freelance work that adds to my experience and skill set. For 10 years I have practice using DSLR cameras and video cameras such as the Sony NX100. In times that I am not doing camera work, I tend to read various books that either is self-help, non-fiction, or fiction. If not books I read up to 10 articles a day from various credible news outlets. I also follow various radio outlets to brush up on the skill set that I’ve gained as far as a radio voice. Lastly, I follow the newscast to understand the language and layout of the cast to see what could be improved if I tried it. Skills that I brush up on that are not included in journalism are painting, public speaking, and psychological studies. I’ve performed case studies in the field of psychology for development in people and workplace management.
