Gabriela Briseno

After I receive my B.A. in Communications, I would like to begin my career with a job in editing, hopefully acquired through a previous internship, and work towards a career in cinematography.

I have always had a wide range of interests and hobbies. For example, my entire life, I've greatly enjoyed drawing and cartooning. I spend my free time sketching and designing original characters, and over the last couple years, I've become increasingly interested in the art of animation. I pass a lot of time browsing the internet and looking at different animation styles and techniques, and I have drawn a lot of inspiration from Japanese and American artists. I am currently saving up to purchase a tablet so that I can learn to animate and hopefully incorporate it into my videos. I'm also very fascinated by true crime, and I enjoy researching and watching videos about it; my go-to is a YouTuber named Rob Dyke, who hosts several short series about true crime and unsolved mysteries. Contrary to this, I've also been playing sports most of my life. I played a year of lacrosse on Adelphi's Division II team, and while I stopped playing to focus on my courses and internships, I still enjoy playing in my free time. Being an eBoard member of Adelphi's Mosaic club has also taken up a large portion of my free time. I was the Event Coordinator during my sophomore year, and have since moved up to Secretary. This club has given me the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of people, learn about different cultures and identities, and find power in our differences.
