Organizations


CommAgency is a student-run media firm which has been in operation since 2017. During my freshmen and sophomore years of college, I was a part of this company's live production division. We were hired by various clients, such as the Happy Valley Launchbox and the Centre County Film Festival, to livestream important events which they hosted. Whether it be a seminar or awards ceremony, we at CommAgency always strived to deliver professional service and quality media.
I currently serve as a crew producer for 46LIVE. My responsibilities include directing livestreams, supervising our team of camera operators, hosting workshop trainings, and collaborating with the tech unit to set up our equipment. 46LIVE is a student-run organization which annually delivers the wonders of THON into tens of thousands of homes on a global basis. We work closely with THON to match their standards of excellence, while emphasizing their family-friendly reputation. In addition to our consecutive 46 hour livestream, we also livestream their autumn 5K benefit run, "100 Days" celebration, family carnival, and talent showcase.
