One of my first memories from childhood is reading a short story to my first-grade class. As their eyes widen, I understood the ability of stories to open hearts and change minds. Since this moment I have been compelled to use storytelling to communicate ideas through all different mediums with a focus on empathy. I now have 6+ years of experience creating visual content, primarily in the audio-visual space. From being a founding member of my High School’s Social Media team; to winning a Suncoast Chapter Emmy for my film editing; to working as a Marketer and Graphic Web Designer for PartsHawk, I have deep knowledge of a variety of visual communication mediums. And this varied array of expertise allows me to become a better communicator. Communication is fluid and dynamic, therefore, learning different ways to reach an audience is crucial to getting your message across effectively. I hope that future projects allow me to continue experimenting with the world of multimedia creation, whether it be in film, broadcast, graphic design, social media, VR, or the next innovation. The end goal will always be the same; catch eyes, open hearts, and change minds. If you want to collaborate to get a message across or tell a story, reach out via LinkedIn or email me at abarr@fiu.edu Looking forward to the next chapter.
