    <p><span>Since Matt joined the New Media Studio, he has excelled not only in video production, encompassing camera operation, editing, directing, and producing live events, but has also become an integral part of the campus. Dustin Roddy, New Media Studio Manager, shares, “I have never had someone embrace UMBC so quickly (despite holding a BA in Electronic Media and Film from Towson). This shows in his attention to detail and customer service skills.”</span></p>
    <p><span>Regardless of whether he is working with staff, faculty, coaches, or students, Matt takes significant pride in his work, and it is evident in the consistently high-quality results he delivers. </span></p>
    <p><span>Matt was crucial this Fall semester, with over 140 live events and video projects produced by the New Media Studio.  </span></p>
    <p><span>Thank you, Matt, for your unwavering dedication and commitment to high-quality production, teamwork, and collaboration!</span></p>

    </ul>
    <p><strong>Why did you choose to major in INDS?</strong></p>
    <p>When pursuing a second area of concentration for my social work major, I found there was so much I was interested in that did not fit cleanly into one other major. Classes from education, sociology, psychology, American studies, and public affairs all interested me. INDS provided me an opportunity to explore my passions of social justice, child development, and education from a variety of perspectives through building my own degree plan and pulling from many different disciplines. </p>
    <p><strong>What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?</strong></p>
    <p>After graduation, I plan to pursue a Masters of Social Work (MSW) with a child and family or early childhood mental health concentration with the goal of becoming licensed clinical social work. I would love to work within a school or early learning center to make a difference for both the children I am working with and their families, as well as the larger community. The wide scope of knowledge I have gained from my INDS degree will help me approach large social issues from multiple perspectives and be able to contribute to change from both micro and macro levels. </p>
    <p><strong>Were you involved in any clubs or organizations? Did you hold any leadership positions? URCAD? URA? Off-campus internships? On-campus research experiences?</strong></p>
