Nneka Okoye

I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in journalism media studies at Rutgers University where I’ve had the opportunity to take hands-on courses such as media field

production, television reporting, broadcast news writing, and many more. These courses have taught me valuable skills when it comes to pre-production, on-set work, and post-

production responsibilities while also giving me the chance to network and collaborate

with peers and professors. In addition to this, I have been a part of many on-campus clubs and organizations such as the Rutgers Film Club, WRSU radio station, and an on-campus a capella group where I have held a previous leadership position for three years.

I am actively seeking roles in production and post-production.
