About Me

Hello! My name is Brian Olmo. I'm a student journalist and the current Editor-in-Chief (2024-25) of PantherNOW, the independent student media of Florida International University. 

I got involved with journalism and media back in high school, when I joined the broadcasting magnet at my school. There I had the privilege to interview NBA legends, compete in national contests and see the city of Miami in ways I hadn't before. 

Since then, I've worked as a video production intern for NASA and as a news desk intern for NBC Sports. Over the course of those two internships, I gained experience with video editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects), writing SEO headlines and descriptions, and content management systems like WordPress and Drupal. 

As the sports editor of PantherNOW, I've written extensively about university sports, having many of my articles featured in The Miami Herald and Yahoo Sports. I also wrote an AP Style guide for the sports section and a guide on how to format a sports feature.
