Billy Dodds Email & Phone Number

Discovering my future career path has been a difficult, yet rewarding experience. I started off at Temple University in the fall of 2019 as a mechanical engineer. I struggled to find the passion, making the work difficult since it was not enjoyable to me. I managed four whole semesters, including a half-time job for half of that time, before deciding I could not go on.I knew that I was, and always will be, a hard worker. Something had to change so that I could enjoy the work that I do, in order to be more beneficial in my future career. After discussing with some academic advisers I decided to transfer majors to Media Studies and Production, with a focus in production. While I knew I wanted to work with audio, I still did not know where I wanted to apply my assets.After taking some introductory courses and entering the world of media, I began to have a clearer idea of what I wanted to do. After taking a course on Public Media I was fascinated with radio and the reach it had to everyday working citizens, coming to the realization that I wanted to work in radio. It was amazing to learn and research NPR since my parents would often listen to the productions and broadcasts. I also have always had a strong passion in live events and would love to help behind the scenes to make sure all the audio is flowing as it should.After that class I joined WHIP Radio, the Temple University student radio station, as a producer and engineer. The opportunity has allowed myself become familiar with operating a studio and station. I also was able to get experience working with others, creating segments, and trouble shooting.If I want you to get one thing from all this, it's that I know how to work hard and well when passion is my driving force. When it comes to audio, whether it comes to music, podcast, live audio or radio, I can promise to put my all into any project because I want your media out there as much as you do!Contact info:215-868-4278william.p.dodds@gmail.com
