Jesika Orahoske, Media Arts Technician
Jesika Orahoske grew up in Garfield Heights.
In her senior year, she wrote that she wanted to be a professional photographer. Shortly after graduating, she discovered she had a talent. Typing 95 wpm, she decided at that time to pursue a career in medical transcription. Orahoske did not seriously consider photography as a career until realizing that a “normal” 9-5 job wasn’t her gig.
Out of impulse, she quit her job and purchased a camera that same day. She decided to take courses at Tri-C as a networking opportunity.
在从三一学院毕业之前, she threw herself to the sharks in the commercial world, 竞争辅助工作. Her first gig was with the Kalman & Pabst照片组. Upon graduation, she became a regular assistant with BurkleHagen Studio.
Outside of the commercial world, she enjoys working in multiple facets of photography and has grown quite the network.
She continues to work at Tri-C to give back to the community. In the near future, Orahoske will open up opportunities for Tri-C students to assist her.
