My name is Amal Albaladejo, and I am especially excited for this semester because it is my final one! Upon my graduation this spring, I aspire to begin my career in either museum libraries or archives, with a special interest in art and audio\/visual. As of now, I currently work and get all my schoolwork done from the front desk at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bavarianinnwv.com\/\">the Bavarian Inn<\/a>. It&#8217;s located in a tiny, hallmark-esk town called Shepherdstown, West Virginia. It&#8217;s super cute, and also near enough to D.C. that I get to venture out to the city from time to time and walk amongst some of the greatest museums.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/080AF454-B75D-4BF5-A1EE-C6A44D5C7C83-4-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8882 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/080AF454-B75D-4BF5-A1EE-C6A44D5C7C83-4-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/080AF454-B75D-4BF5-A1EE-C6A44D5C7C83-4-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/080AF454-B75D-4BF5-A1EE-C6A44D5C7C83-4-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/080AF454-B75D-4BF5-A1EE-C6A44D5C7C83-4-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/080AF454-B75D-4BF5-A1EE-C6A44D5C7C83-4-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with my interest in the audio\/visual, I come from an undergrad of Digital Communications &amp; Multimeda Production through Florida International University. I decided to take this class because I believe it greatly complements MIS coursework as these are hard skills we can use in the field, and I would love to improve those production skills at a graduate level. Though I have learned so much through this program thus far, I have missed those creative assignments and am thrilled to have them back for my final assignments ever (that&#8217;s crazy to think about).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:39% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/100_0278-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ollie camping in Virginia\" class=\"wp-image-8879 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/100_0278-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/100_0278-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/100_0278-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/100_0278-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/100_0278-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Outside of work and school, I love to explore and spend time out in nature, whether that be camping, swimming, or taking my dog on a hike (he may look small, but he\u2019s got it!).
