About
My name is Robert Rincon and Fall 2022, I've been admitted to University of Nevada Reno where I've studied Journalism with completed emphases in both News Broadcasting and Sports Media.
I was admitted to the university with Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) scholarship for having an transfer GPA of 3.0 or higher.
I've graduated from University of Nevada- Reno on May 15, 2026 while earning my Bachelor’s degree in Journalism as an Provost-Scholar of the university's Honor's College.
I've also graduated community college May 18, 2022, completing my Associate of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism along with a 3.28 GPA meaning I've graduated with Honors in the commencement book.
Next, I took a class during Summer 2022 and completed California State University GE-Breadth Certificate.
I was then awarded my Associate of Arts degree for Transfer in Journalism along with Associate of Science for Transfer in Film, Television, and Electronic Media.
As of Fall, I'm now applying for Journalism jobs and searching for employment with broadcast news stations.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My life goal is to become an TV News Reporter or work in a broadcast newsroom.
By having my Journalism bachelor's degree followed by multiple associate degrees, I've now completed the minimum requirement for most internships and jobs in my career field that requires a minimum of 2-years experience in broadcasting or Journalism.- Outside the classroom
During my free time, I like to play Playstation 5 video games like NBA 2K. I like to read news stories on social media and watch live streams from TV News stations on their Facebook page.
I enjoy going to the news scenes myself to communicate with other reporters and record my own footage that I later upload to my news page.
Attending current events makes me feel closer to my dream in TV news reporting as I continue to build my Journalism portfolio bigger and more professional.
I can always look back on how far I've come once I've graduated with all degrees and education needed to land an job or internship in my career field of Broadcast Journalism.
