Anthony Angelopoulos

“Hi, I’m Anthony Angelopoulos. I’m a senior at Reno High School and I became a part of the KUNR internship as a way to get better and more skilled in writing, editing, and telling stories people want to hear. It is also to earn college credit for the future. I like to spend my free time playing tons of video games and watching movies as well as coming up with creative stories with my friends.”
