About

Hel­lo every­one! I’m Kwasi Osei-Amankwah, a Ghana­ian-Amer­i­can from Great Neck, NY. I am an avid sports enthu­si­ast with a keen eye for detail and a huge pas­sion for sto­ry­telling. As a 2025 Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut grad­u­ate with a bach­e­lor’s degree in Jour­nal­ism and a minor in Com­mu­ni­ca­tion, I have devel­oped effec­tive writ­ing, report­ing, and nar­ra­tive sto­ry­telling skills.

My expe­ri­ence includes work­ing with FOX61 dur­ing my sports report­ing course, cov­er­ing Con­necti­cut’s soc­cer team, The Hart­ford Ath­let­ic. I helped FOX61 sports anchor Jon­ah Karp under the wing of my instruc­tor, ESPN Fea­tures Pro­duc­er Steve Buck­heit. My role involved inter­view­ing play­ers and coach­es and edit­ing media to ensure it was ready for pre­sen­ta­tion on dead­line. I also cre­at­ed, exec­u­tive pro­duced, and host­ed my sports pod­cast, Mod­oOn­TheMic. Most recent­ly, I’ve had work pub­lished by the Hart­ford Courant and CTMir­ror.

Every role I’ve had, in all the jobs and places I’ve worked, and all the chal­lenges I’ve faced have helped shape me into who I am today. I grad­u­at­ed from UConn by pay­ing for col­lege alone while help­ing my moth­er, who fell ill in 2021.

In 2020, I par­tic­i­pat­ed in the Black Lives Mat­ter move­ment, rep­re­sent­ing my neigh­bor­hood’s tiny black com­mu­ni­ty and con­tribut­ing through speech­es and com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment in Great Neck, NY. I am always com­mit­ted to using my plat­form to pro­mote inclu­siv­i­ty, equal­i­ty, peace, and pos­i­tive change.

While I am unapolo­get­i­cal­ly myself, I aspire to grow my writ­ing, ver­bal, and visu­al com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills. I aim to pro­duce con­tent that res­onates with young and old minds and encour­ages oth­ers to pur­sue their pas­sions. I plan to con­nect with as many peo­ple as pos­si­ble and learn every­thing I can to make these goals a real­i­ty so I can pave the way for oth­ers like me.
