CARLOS MARTINEZ JR.
Aspiring Journalist
ABOUT ME
I am a California State University, Dominguez Hills alumni, class of 2021, with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. I have a passion for entertainment and the arts, both visual and performing, as well as social justice.
Originally majoring in Theatre Arts, I entered the world of Journalism as a reporter for Talon Marks, the student-run newspaper at Cerritos College, and CSUDH's The Bulletin. From these experiences, I knew my career ambitions moved towards the craft.
I saw the opportunity to share important stories with my community of individuals and topics that invoke change and an eloquence of new ideas.
​
My career aspiration is to work as an editor for a publication that shares stories of entertainment, both local and national. My curiosity and eagerness to learn new things help me uncover new aspects of my community.
