This project ignited my passion in video-storytelling. Portland State University (PSU) is home to a 6-time Paralympic athlete and a Paralympic-hopeful. Before heading to the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, PSU staff member Jen Armbruster and student Eliana Mason trained in one of Portland’s only Goalball courts in hopes of bringing home a Paralympic medal. Throughout this project, I was motivated by educating viewers about a popular Paralympic sport. I also think it is important to often share stories where the content itself strives to be inclusive and accessible to those who are being reported on.
Role: Managed the technical production of this video from beginning to end under the supervision and collaboration of the PSU Campus Recreation Coordinator of Marketing & Communications, Erin Merz.
