Journ 110: Intro to Multimedia About Me Assignment

My name is Aren Saunders-Gonzalez and I am taking the Journalism Minor at UC Berkeley for the Summer of 2021.

Aren H. Saunders-Gonzalez, 22, of Sacramento, Calif., captured by Gavin Richard, fellow DKA* Pledge Brother outside of University Avenue’s Cherry Blossom Trees at UC Berkeley’s West Campus Entrance for DKA’s (Delta Kappa Alpha’s)* Spring 2021 Pledge Semester Scrapbook, on Saturday, ‎April ‎24, ‎2021. *** UC Berkeley’s premier professional film organization, Eta Chapter.

I decided to take this program to gain a greater understanding of how to use various forms of media in our modern world where online communication has become essential in every day life socially, economically, and politically. I have 6 years of both social media and photography experience which will help me succeed in this program and get me back into managing my photography brand.

My website (arensaunders.com) is currently under reconstruction. You can view my old photography brand’s image and social media portfolio here on Instagram and here on Twitter, as well as a preview of both of them below.
