Introduction
Hello and welcome to my portfolio! Thank you for taking the time to explore it. I’m Drew, but my friends know me as Gawgia. I’m a YouTuber and videographer who is always eager to learn and expand my experiences. That’s what truly motivates me.
Academic Pursuits
Currently, I’ve embarked on my journey in the Masters program in emerging media at the University of Georgia. Though I’ve just begun, I’ve already acquired a wealth of knowledge that will enhance my skills not only in digital design but also as an on-air personality and videographer/editor. Previous education was at Mercer University in Macon, GA in pursuit of Media as well.
Professional Background
My path to pursuing a Masters has been unique. After graduating from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia in the spring of 2013, I spent a decade in the professional world. During this time, I gained experience in video editing, audio editing, radio, and retail. Additionally, I had the opportunity to travel, immersing myself in various cultures both abroad and across our great nation.
Creative Endeavors and Interests
My passion for the performing arts has been a lifelong pursuit. From acting in plays and theater shows since the age of eight, to taking on lead roles in high school productions, and continuing this interest into my time at Mercer, the stage has always been a significant part of my life. It was during high school that I was introduced to videography, a passion that has remained steadfast ever since. Throughout it all, I’ve been drawn to YouTube as a creative outlet.
When it comes to the content I create, I strive for diversity and entertainment value. From whipping up delicious dishes in my cooking videos to delivering humorous and insightful music reviews, and diving deep into sports analysis and reviews, I cover a wide range of topics on my channel. What ties it all together is my commitment to infusing humor into every piece of content, ensuring that my viewers not only learn something new but also have a good laugh along the way. Whether you’re looking for a tasty recipe, the latest music recommendations, or a lively discussion about sports, you can count on me to deliver engaging and entertaining content that keeps you coming back for more.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in reading, hiking, exploring national parks, and cheering passionately for the Georgia Bulldogs. You’ll always catch me tuned into their games during the fall season, no matter where I am!
I’m excited about the prospect of collaborating with you. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to learn more about my work, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the contact page. Drop me a message, and I’ll get back to you promptly.
