Hi All! My name is Rocio Nunez, I'm a rising second year graduate student at Annenberg. I'm originally from New York City, and attended Duke University where I majored in English and Film Studies. My interests in communications lie in cinema, and audience reactions to films. While there were many opportunities for summer projects, this year, I opted to stay right here in good old Philly, PA.
In the coming weeks, I'll be serving as a volunteer at the Centro Pedro Claver, a community based organization that works mainly with local Latinos in North Philadelphia. I'll be shooting a documentary about the center's summer youth program. I am very excited about the prospect of working with youngsters who will be learning leadership skills. Another interesting aspect about the program is that it was partially funded by inmates at a local prison. While I know little about what to expect, I am looking forward to the experience and sharing it with readers.
