​

A recent graduate from Southern Illinois University (SIU) in December of 2023 with a bachelor of science in journalism/specialization in advertising and a minor in TV Studies. 

​

In two and a half years at SIU, I have been heavily involved with multiple registered student organizations. I had been a board member of Movie Camera Movement; president of Writers’ Room; and a member of a student-run advertising agency.

I edited, directed, wrote, and produced short films for Movie Camera Movement. I ran Writers’ Room with an involvement that increased five times from the previous year, becoming our biggest turnout in years.

​

I worked on several projects with the student-run advertising agency, Saluki Ad-Lab. I partnered with them and the city of Carbondale to edit their promotional video for their yearly “Carbondale Halloween” event both for 2023 and 2024. I worked on creative and directed, produced, and edited two commercials for the yearly NSAC AAF competition, in which we won first place in District 6. 

​

I am currently seeking employment and internships involving copywriting and video editing. I’m also open to freelance opportunities and networking anytime, expanding my knowledge and creating connections with those in the workplace. I hope to hear back! I constantly check my emails. Feel free to contact me anytime at Barraganeric365@gmail.com
