Doc off Campus: Laura Juncadella '11
On January 3, 2016, three °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ students on their way to Cuba with a travel seminar exploring the history of travel had lunch in Miami, Florida, with Laura Juncadella, '11 (international affairs and Latin American studies).
Juncadella took classes in documentary film storytelling at °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ before the creation
of John B. Moore Documentary Studies Collaborative. Now five years after graduation,
she still believes in a liberal arts education and says that background can be a plus
for employers looking to hire in production fields like television news.
Listen to excerpts from the conversation to hear how a liberal arts program paved the way for her current job with , a media company working on important stories for the YouTube generation, in which
she shares the story of how she came to work at Fusion and the importance of visual
storytelling.
