- 1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION GianiPetersen Project & Portfolio I: Week 1 March 5th, 2023
- 2. I am GianiPetersen a person from Canton, Ohio, a place where people are tough, hardworking, and thick-skinned. I feel a lot of those characteristics show up in myself except I am so much more than that. I am a person that is always willing to put the needs of others ahead of my own. I feel what the one thing that makes me unique as compared to others is that yes, my goal is to be an on-air talent, but once I build a platform, I want to use my platform to raise awareness for people such as myself growing up. I was the type to always try to mask and hide my depression and anxiety. The older I have gotten I realize it helps make me unique and has helped push me to great heights. I am a hardworking, helpful, and understanding person that wants to use his platform for more than sports one day! IDENTITY Picture of You Goes Here
