Hel\u00adlo every\u00adone! I\u2019m Kwasi Osei-Amankwah, a Ghana\u00adian-Amer\u00adi\u00adcan from Great Neck, NY. I am an avid sports enthu\u00adsi\u00adast with a keen eye for detail and a huge pas\u00adsion for sto\u00adry\u00adtelling. As a 2025 Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Con\u00adnecti\u00adcut grad\u00adu\u00adate with a bach\u00ade\u00adlor\u2019s degree in Jour\u00adnal\u00adism and a minor in Com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion, I have devel\u00adoped effec\u00adtive writ\u00ading, report\u00ading<\/a>, and nar\u00adra\u00adtive sto\u00adry\u00adtelling skills.

My expe\u00adri\u00adence includes work\u00ading with FOX61 dur\u00ading my sports report\u00ading course, cov\u00ader\u00ading Con\u00adnecti\u00adcut\u2019s soc\u00adcer team, The Hart\u00adford Ath\u00adlet\u00adic. I helped FOX61 sports anchor Jon\u00adah Karp under the wing of my instruc\u00adtor, ESPN Fea\u00adtures Pro\u00adduc\u00ader Steve Buck\u00adheit. My role involved inter\u00adview\u00ading play\u00aders and coach\u00ades and edit\u00ading media to ensure it was ready for pre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion on dead\u00adline. I also cre\u00adat\u00aded, exec\u00adu\u00adtive pro\u00adduced, and host\u00aded my sports pod\u00adcast, Mod\u00adoOn\u00adTheMic<\/a>. Most recent\u00adly, I\u2019ve had work pub\u00adlished by the Hart\u00adford Courant<\/a> and CTMir\u00adror.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every role I\u2019ve had, in all the jobs and places I\u2019ve worked, and all the chal\u00adlenges I\u2019ve faced have helped shape me into who I am today. I grad\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded from UConn by pay\u00ading for col\u00adlege alone while help\u00ading my moth\u00ader, who fell ill in 2021.

In 2020, I par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00aded in the Black Lives Mat\u00adter move\u00adment<\/a>, rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00ading my neigh\u00adbor\u00adhood\u2019s tiny black com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty and con\u00adtribut\u00ading through speech\u00ades and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty engage\u00adment in Great Neck, NY. I am always com\u00admit\u00adted to using my plat\u00adform to pro\u00admote inclu\u00adsiv\u00adi\u00adty, equal\u00adi\u00adty, peace, and pos\u00adi\u00adtive change.

While I am unapolo\u00adget\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly myself, I aspire to grow my writ\u00ading, ver\u00adbal, and visu\u00adal com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion skills. I aim to pro\u00adduce con\u00adtent that res\u00adonates with young and old minds and encour\u00adages oth\u00aders to pur\u00adsue their pas\u00adsions. I plan to con\u00adnect with as many peo\u00adple as pos\u00adsi\u00adble and learn every\u00adthing I can to make these goals a real\u00adi\u00adty so I can pave the way for oth\u00aders like me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
