Intro Blog for GRA 101

Blog Self Introduction

My name is Alex Ortega; I’m 23 years old. I was born in Mexico City and lived there until I was 11. I moved to Atlanta, GA in 2002 and lived there for 12 years. I have only been in Yuma for a year.  I currently work at KAWC as a production assistant and I am a full time student. On my spare time I like playing my guitar and I enjoy writing music. I also enjoy playing soccer whenever I get a chance. 

Major

My major is in Media Arts with an emphasis on Television Production.

Class Goals

I wanted to take this class with the purpose of becoming more familiar with editing tools and just technology in general.

University Goals

After I get my associates degree from AWC I plan on moving back to Atlanta to attend SAE to get an Audio Engineering degree.

Experience with Graphics/Design

I don’t really have much experience in this field, but I work with computers all the time. I also know the basics of coding from CodeAcademy.com

Where Do I see myself in 10 years?

I want to go back to Mexico City at some point after I feel like I have gotten all the experience that I want to get to make movies.

Favorite Vacation Spot

I’ve had the chance to visit a lot of cool cities all over the world but I have to say that one of my favorite spots is the Swiss Alps during the winter. Snowboarding down those massive mountains was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
