Alex Restrepo

Majored in Journalism
University of Iowa, Class of 2016
From Wheeling, IL

Upbeat, personable ambitious, creative, passionate, and persuasive. I'm full of ideas and ways things can be improved and made more effective. Anything music related is what I'm most passionate about. I ran KRUI 89.7 fm Radio's website, and was responsible for the creation of the Music & Culture web content. I also hosted and produced my own weekly radio show at KRUI 89.7 fm called, "Afternoon Delight". I then interned at City Channel 4 as a multimedia intern. After graduation I began a marketing internship at Music Dealers, a music licensing company in downtown Chicago.
