My name is Tristyn Cherian, and I am a senior at Temple University, majoring in Media Studies and Production in the Honors program. 

I am experienced in camera operation, audio engineering, and technical direction for video, both live and taped. I also have a passion for DEI and marginalized voices in Western film and television, and I authored a research paper for Temple's 2022 Undergraduate Research Symposium about portrayals of South Asians in American media titled Taxi Drivers and Terrorists. 

Below is an elevator pitch video I created to quickly run through my skills and experience.
