Kayla Nguyen
"Hello, I'm Kayla Nguyen and I am the Studio Manager for Titan TV. As studio manager, I supervise the Titan TV studio and help set up our productions throughout the week. Also, when there is a small technical problem in the studio I am able to find a solution for it. During my first semester here at Cal State Fullerton in the Fall of 2021 I was in a Communications class where we introduce ourselves one of my classmates Cody said he work at Titan TV and I started volunteering after signing up. Ever since then, I started working here a semester after as a video editor. My experience here has been great I learned so much from the behind-the-scenes part of broadcasting and learning all things technical that goes on here. I got to experience as well as new friends along the way here. 11/10 recommend it."
William Beteta
"I am William Beteta aka Willy B, I am the Chief Editor who oversees all of the post-production of student programs and other miscellaneous projects. I found out about this position on TitanNet over the summer when I wanted to look for something to put on my Resume. I've enjoyed my position greatly because I've learned much more about post-production here than in my classes. Not only do I learn about post-production, but I also get to watch the entire lifecycle of a show, from its conception to its production and finally to post. It is an exciting position, with each project having its own flare."
Crystal Bernardo
"My name is Crystal Bernardo. I am one of the Executive Producers here at Titan TV. My job is to basically oversee productions from start to finish. From the pre-production side of things, I collaborate a lot with our interns to create the scripts for our shows and I am usually the voice that reaches out to the guests and talent that we bring in. I also help out with actual productions through floor directing, working cameras, controlling the teleprompter…I am one of many people that ensure the shoot goes as smoothly as possible. Then afterward, it’s my job to distribute and share all our hard work for the world to see.I found out about this job last semester when I stumbled upon an application for a Freelance Camera Operator. I’m a Cinema and Television Arts major, so working with cameras was something I was always interested in. I got the job and came to really like the environment and the people as well. I wanted to get more involved and so this semester, I applied for Executive Producer and here we are today. Titan TV has been the best experience I’ve had, academically and professionally, in my entire college career here at CSUF. I’ve made so many great friends and the workload of an Executive Producer has taught me a lot about managing, writing, directing, camera work, and broadcasting, just to name a few."
Nicole Higdon
"My names Nicole Higdon, and I am one of the Executive Producers at Titan TV! I work on shows such as The Report, Titan Sports, Titans Tonight as well as In Focus, and within my job I work to develop new show ideas, schedule/ communicate with guests, oversee intern writing assignments, and make sure productions are going smooth. I found about the job on Titan Connection, which helps CSUF find jobs in the field they want to pursue. So far I’m loving my experience and I’m so grateful to be surrounded by such a caring and supportive team! In the future I would love to pursue a job within film and television entertainment, specifically focusing on areas of pre-production and screenwriting. Titan TV has allowed me to gain first-hand experience working in physical production for a studio and expand my skills in production coordination and development!"
Brandon Walkley
"My name is Brandon Walkley, I lead a team of two interns that create content for and oversee our social media accounts, as well as planning weekly Street Team meetings and maintaining on-campus and community relationships and engagement. I found out about Titan Radio at Discoverfest after we returned to campus from virtual instruction. I became a DJ at Titan Radio in Fall '21 and started to post TikToks when I would go in to the live booth for my show each week, which ended up gaining traction and were later found by staff members on their "For You" pages. The Communications Director at TR at the time cornered me on my way out after my show one day and told me he thought it was really cool how I liked to post radio-related content on my personal social media accounts, and told me I should throw my hat in the ring for an internship at the station the following semester. The rest is history. I have greatly enjoyed my experience so far, and am devastated to part from it at the end of this semester when I graduate. I joined TR as a DJ just for fun, but through interning and becoming a paid member of the staff in my last year and a half of college, I have realized that a lot of my passions and interests for the future have changed – none of which I may never have been able to find if not for a creatively challenging and thought-provoking work environment like the one that exists at Titan Radio."
Cameron Macedonio
"My name is Cameron Macedonio, and I am the General Manager of Titan Radio. In short, I ensure the smooth operations in our station, and I do a little bit of everything in our station. I help and support all of our departments, including tech, marketing, communications, and programming. I also attend meetings to secure on campus partnerships and plan large events! I did not know Titan Radio was a thing until my first semester on campus back in Fall 2021. I have been here since Fall 2020, but my entire first semester was online so I wasn’t too involved. But in Fall 21, I found Titan Radio at DiscoverFest and I thought of how Anna Kendrick’s character in Pitch Perfect worked at her college radio station and I thought that was cool so I wanted to do it too. I DJ’d Fall 2021, and I interned Spring 2022 after learning what Titan Radio really is. I was the technical intern in the Spring, and the General Manager at the time was graduating, and I really loved the station in my year there. So, I applied to be General Manager and got it! I have been General Manager since Fall 2022. I absolutely love my experience and Titan Radio. It has grown to be everything to me, and I genuinely care for the station and want to further the station as much as I can!"
