CAREERS IN MULTIMEDIA & DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS PODCAST

This Jobs with Jodi podcast episode spotlights the careers of three RPCVs working in different capacities within the multimedia and digital communications field.  

  

Hear from RPCV featured guests Ryan Fouss, Cedar Wolf, and Orrin Luc as they discuss their own distinct career paths in the digital media field, while offering sage advice to listeners who are interested in turning their passion for storytelling via photography and videography into a career.   



FEATURED GUESTS:

Ryan Fouss (Eswatini 2011–13) works as creative lead and TV producer at National Geographic Channel — with proven experience in developing and managing award-winning digital marketing campaigns and the production of long-form television series. He got his start in the Office of Third Goal & Returned Volunteer Services in Peace Corps Headquarters. Born in a refugee camp in the Philippines and growing up abroad as the child of a diplomat, he has a special passion about representation and diversity within media.


Cedar Wolf (Namibia 2006–08) is a Multimedia Storyteller with more than 18 years of experience in video and production. While skateboarding led him to buy his first video camera, it was through his Peace Corps service in Namibia and the Philippines that Wolf developed a lifelong passion for documenting social causes, cultural experiences, and the environment. In his spare time, he volunteers as a multimedia specialist for the Peace Corps Oral History project and teaches visual storytelling workshops. He is a former Peace Corps Recruiter where he enjoyed using his photos and videos of service to bring his presentations to life. Wolf currently lives in Colorado where he loves spending time with his daughter, wife, and father. For more information, visit his website at https://www.cedarwolf.com/


Orrin Luc (El Salvador 2014–16, Mexico 2017–18) joined the National Peace Corps Association team in March 2021. As the Digital Content Manager, he designs and delivers digital messaging across all platforms, managing the creation of video, website, digital magazine, and newsletter content. He enjoys producing and editing short documentaries that showcase the NPCA’s Community Fund, advocacy efforts, and Global Reentry program. Orrin served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in El Salvador 2014–16 and again as Peace Corps Response in Mexico 2017–18. He currently lives in Chicago, and he is happy to report that he has met and interviewed Jeff Goldblum in person. For more information, visit his Linkedin.
