My name is Waylon Winishut, I am from Warm Springs, I live in Madras with my wife and children. I am currently attending Oregon State University, working towards my bachelor of art, media & technology. I am also pursuing a minor in Spanish on top of my major. In the long term, I would like to be involved in graphic design, with an emphasis on video editing and marketing. I hope to one day open a graphic design consulting firm for social media marketing, hosting graphic designers and interns to provide the skills to the Central Oregon area necessary for a thriving graphic design/social media marketing community.

I don’t have any previous experience with the Extension Service outside of what I see during community events. My goal, by the end of the summer, is to fine tune my organizational skills and planning. Some of my ideas for projects for this summer job is STEM activities geared towards youth, in order to get them interested in creative solutions to challenges they face in the real world.
