Producer’s Bio:
My name is Jackson McCormick and I am a junior at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communications majoring in public relations with a minor in anthropology. The Latino Roots course has sparked a passion for storytelling and videography, and I am excited to build off of what I have learned from this course.
I want to give my utmost appreciation to Professor Martinez and Professor Stephen for the opportunity to be a part of this course, and Vannia Glasinovic for working with me to make this movie during these very uncertain times.
