My name is Dwayne McClain, and I am a member of Client Services track at Year Up Chicago with an interest in client relations. I am most passionate about collaborating with a team to solve major issues in the workplace or in corporate as whole. Before Year Up, I was a child monitor at The Ark of St. Sabina; I worked with children ages 6-14 assisting my colleagues with teaching life skills and giving them a better solution to solving their problems. I’ve also been in the media industry for 10+ years, board operating sound systems, operating cameras, and controlling visuals. My goal is to join both my training in client service and my background in media, so that I can create strong connections with other professionals plus work as a brand and promotion specialist in the film industry. Outside of my professions, I am a visual and auditory learner, a poet, a singer, videographer, photographer, board operator, and dancer. I love to explore new things in life; I’ve learned that in life there’s always something new to discover whether it’s about myself, people, or places. My dream career is to be a film director. I’m looking forward to meeting your team and to collaborate awesome ideas!
