Hi there! My name is Ally Gaines, I recently graduated from the U of A with a Bachelor’s of Art in Communication. I decided to head back to my Alma mater to pursue my Master’s degree in Communication! My dream after graduating from the master’s program is to hopefully work for a University teaching Communication and social media courses to undergraduates. Becoming the Graduate Assistant for UA productions is a great step in advancing my knowledge in the social media world. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside and loving on my dog.

My name is Addie Jones, and I am a journalism major with minors in political science and rhetoric writing studies.  My passions include writing, literacy, learning about societal issues, and performing community service.  Serving as a Content Creator for the Division of Student Affairs at the University of Arkansas allows me to utilize my strengths while developing new skills to help me pursue a future career in news/editorial journalism!

My name is Mackyna Parsons and my major is journalism with a concentration in multimedia storytelling and production. After graduation, I plan on pursuing a Masters in documentary film. I serve as Student Affairs’ social media manager where I lead and work alongside our content creators. My passion is personal storytelling and human connection. Seeing multimedia journalism and student documentation intersect is why I love what I do!

Hey! My name is Josh Droll, and I’m a Junior Broadcast Journalism major from Broken Arrow, OK. I tend to specialize in video, but you’ll see some other projects from me here and there. Ultimately, my dream is to work in TV or radio. I’m also really big into theatre and playwriting! Really, my passion is telling stories that matter in a way that matters!

Hi there! My name is McKinley Hughes. I’m pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Art History here at the U of A. I work at UA Productions designing posters and graphics for university programs and events. I love art and plan to pursue a graphic design job after I graduate. My dream job is to own my own design studio in NWA with other local designers. I wouldn’t mind having any design job until I can make that goal happen. Something I do to relax is make a cup of coffee (doesn’t matter the time of day!) and sit down and make art. As long as I get to do that I am happy!

Hello hello! I’m Leilani Crinella, happily pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design here at the University of Arkansas. As part of the UA Productions crew, I design graphics that appear on a variety of creative materials for social events happening right here at school. Being creative in a professional environment has always been a dream of mine, and being in service to a community I already love has been a wonderful step in that direction! When I step away from the screen, I love working on my cross-stitch projects, and being outside in the sun!
