Welcome Emma to MediaLab!

Emma is a 2nd year senior majoring in Media and Film!

“I've always had a passion for creative media, and it all started in middle school when I discovered my love for filmmaking. I started participating in film competitions and had a blast competing alongside my sister. In 2021, I launched my own photography business, and in 2022, I joined Marcom as a photographer and videographer, deepening my affection for creative media. These experiences led me to join the media lab, where I hope to gain fresh perspectives and connect with like-minded individuals who share a similar passion.”

Emma’s goal for this year is to emerge with a sense of overall accomplishment. She’s eager to engage with diverse media formats and connect with amazing individuals!

You can find Emma photographing, running marathons, hiking, swimming, windsurfing, and skiing!

Meet Mateo!

Mateo is a 2nd-year student majoring in Multimedia Storytelling. He applied to MediaLab because of the opportunities it provides, such as video shooting, editing, and working with clients. In addition, he hopes to improve his videography and photography skills. Although he has done freelance photography and video editing before, he believes there are still gaps in his learning since it was entirely self-taught. Outside of MediaLab, Mateo enjoys painting, drawing, writing creative nonfiction, fiction and poetry, composing, and playing the French horn. Fun fact: his favorite form of potato to eat is sliced gold Yukon potatoes baked in butter.

We are excited to have Mateo in MediaLab this semester!"
