My name is Samantha Drougel. I am a multimedia specialist with an emphasis on video broadcasting. I studied film and broadcast journalism at Grand Valley State University where I received my bachelors degree in both areas.

I work in both live production and prerecorded content. I believe that by combining film concepts with journalism principles, I can turn truth into entertainment.

I have been a producer of an esports broadcast, GVSU Esports, for the past 3 years where I have enjoyed working with a team of individuals who are dedicated to building a strong broadcast program.

Esports has a big future in broadcast production. I work to bring the world built by the game into a real world experience.

I have started to expand my passion for storytelling into game design. I studied past game design documents and used them to design my own journalistic video game as a way to combat the spread of mis and disinformation around the world.
