about me
Nice to meet you! My name is Nick Dalessandro and I'm a multi-media Swiss Army knife. I attend Central Michigan University studying Broadcast & Cinematic Arts and Multimedia Design with plans of graduating in December of 2019. In my time at university, I've been a part of multiple organizations that have helped hone my skills as a video producer, photographer, graphic artist, radio host, social media content creator, and much more. When I'm not editing videos, I enjoy practicing yoga, watching YouTube tutorials, playing Minecraft, and following sports.
​
My hope is to become a member of an exciting work environment that helps develop my production skills and keeps me constantly adapting to the ever changing media industry. I'm determined to dive into the production industry with a fresh driven perspective to social media content, filmmaking, and all things that get clicks.

2017-2019
ACHA National Tournament
Director of Moments
The ACHA National Tournament is an annual tradition that has given me an opportunity to travel across the country covering college level hockey. I started as a camera operator, and have since been promoted to editor, and most recently director. Each year gives me an opportunity to showcase my skillset of creating videos and telling stories.

2015-2019
Dirty Sports Podcast
Content Creator
Online content is an ever-growing and highly demanded medium at the moment. I've been a social media and YouTube content creator for a Los Angeles based sports talk show going on 5 years. From photoshop memes to travel vlogs and online sports videos, the Dirty Sports podcast has given me experience in efficient video editing, photoshop, and relevant internet culture.
2017-2019
Chippewa Hockey Network
Assistant Director of Video Operations
Sports are a passion, filmmaking is passion. Why not combine the two? Working in sports taught me how to be on a team. Not just a sports team, but a broadcast team. Everyone pulls their weight, and you don't let the man (or woman) next to you down. Being with CHN helped me with responsibility, always having to get things done on time with deadlines.
2017-2019
Freelance Photography/Videography
Weddings, Concerts, Music Videos and more, freelancing has helped me learn to build my own business and market myself for work. This skillset has allowed me to travel, photograph for musicians, and crash a few weddings. I love to meet new people, and freelancing has helped me with professional interactions.
