Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
02, 3, 2022

2. My name is Nicolas Arciniegas, I am from
Bogota, Colombia. Throughout my 23 years I
have played at a competitive level: golf, soccer
and tennis which have helped build my vast
knowledge in such disciplines, I have been a
part of 10 educational institutions and moved
around 8 different times, I was able to pick up
from this nomad lifestyle the ability to build
strong and meaningful connections with the
people I meet. Through the sportscasting
program I will be able to learn to further this
connection and nurture it in such manner that
will allow me set the foundations for my
“persona” and followers.
