About
My name is Brandon Robadel and I'm an individual who is passionate about chasing my dreams. I have always been interested in expressing my creativity through many outlets and skateboarding has had the greatest impact in my life and it essentially breathes life into my creativity. From skateboarding I draw my sense of style, it has helped shape my character, it has helped me see the world in new ways, and it helped shape my determination, persistence, and patience. Also, skateboarding is the very reason that I am pursuing a degree in Digital Media & Design. In the ninth grade I began filming and editing skateboarding videos and that has translated into me wanting to have a career where I get to work with the digital medium. That being said, I am currently a social media intern and I am working closely with 3 different companies in Connecticut where I create and post content on their social media pages. It's an opportunity that I am extremely thankful for because that is exactly what I want to do with my degree. In the terms of school, I am currently finishing my final semester at Naugatuck Valley Community College and am transferring to UCONN Stamford in the spring of 2017.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended job path is to work in advertising. When I say that, I mean that I want to create captivating, imaginative, and really cool content for different companies. I want to have my own company where different brands approach me to create social media content for their websites, social media pages, and etc. Brands that I intend on working with are restaurants, fashion brands, skateboarding companies, and sports brands.
- Graduate school interests
I do have an interest in pursuing a Masters Degree, but I'm not entirely sure on what it will be in. It's a decision I am still working on making.
- Outside the classroom
On my free time I enjoy skateboarding, filming/editing videos, photography, hanging out with my friends, and playing music.
