ABOUT ME

My name is Eric (Min San Thu), and I currently work as a multimedia journalist at KTTC NBC 10. I am a Luther College graduate from Myanmar majoring in Visual Communication. I specialize in writing, videography, photography, data visualization, and graphic design. I am fascinated by the power of visual storytelling in today's screen-dominated society. In a world where our attention spans are shortening more than ever, I want to learn how to captivate people with beautiful stories that make their day!
