About Me
Hi! I’m Korey McCaskill, a Mass Communications major at Claflin University with a passion for storytelling, creativity, and visual media. I enjoy using different forms of communication, from photography and digital content creation to writing and video production, to share meaningful stories that connect people and communities. Through experiences like writing for The Panther, interning at the W.E.B. Du Bois Data Lab, and engaging in various campus leadership roles, I’ve strengthened my communication, leadership, and professional skills while learning how media can shape perspectives and create impact.
My goal is to continue growing as a communicator and creator who uses media not just to inform, but to inspire. Whether I’m behind the camera, crafting a message, or brainstorming a new idea, I aim to bring authenticity, creativity, and purpose to everything I do. When I’m not working on media projects, you can usually find me exploring new music, traveling, or connecting with other creatives who share a passion for storytelling. Feel free to explore my portfolio and connect with me, I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations that make a difference.

Concentration Journalism
Claflin Universtiy
In high school, I built a strong foundation in media production, where I learned photography, videography, and how to operate lighting for both studio and field productions. I also gained hands-on experience in sports media, shooting games and creating sports highlight videos that were featured in a school awards show. These early opportunities helped shape my interest in storytelling and set the stage for the media work I do today.
I am currently studying in Mass Communications with a concentration in Journalism. During my time at Claflin University, I have learned cinematography, news anchoring, how to write scripts, how pitching for stories to cover looks like, how to write a blog, event coverage story, and the process on getting information for news stories.

Hobbies
While I am a college student, I also find myself not having time for some of the things I like to do. But when I do have time here are three things I like to do.

Hair
Now and days getting your hair cost a pretty penny. (Even though pennies are now being discontinued) I invested in myself and started learning how to do my own hair. I learned how to do knotless braids, cornrows, quick weaves, and ponytails.

Traveling
When I was younger, my parents always told me I wanted to go to Hollywood. Although, I have not been to Hollywood yet, I have been several other places either with family or by myself. I plan to travel a whole lot more, now that I have my passport!

Outside Reading
Being outside has always been where my peace is. When I say outside, I mean in the country. I love the quietness of the wind rustling through the trees, while I indulge in my fiction fantasy books.
