Hello! My name is Annie Gong and I am excited to be an Eco-Digital Storytellers Mentor with UConn’s NRCA for the 2024 spring semester. I’m currently a junior majoring in Digital Media Design, with a concentration in Motion Design & Animation.

 

I have been interested in all mediums of art my entire life, and taking art classes in and out of school since a little kid has led me to win multiple awards and scholarships. You can see what projects I’m currently working on in my portfolio!

 

I was inspired to be an Eco-Digital Storytellers mentor because the ability to inspire others while also contributing to a positive change towards the future with creativity resonates with me. As an artist, I have always observed and connected with the environment around me. Serving as a creative mentor enables me to show people the potential of these skills to raise awareness about environmental issues.

 

Outside of class and work hours, I like to read, skateboard, and eat snacks (I’m always hungry). You can also find me staying active at the gym working out or playing volleyball. I also love all animals. Overall, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring!
