Roman Gonzalez

Roman Gonzalez is the intern at Neovia Solutions. He is a senior at Brown University and a video specialist with a background in media management and production. He is concentrating in philosophy with an eye to literature, screenwriting, and filmmaking—the ingredients to his future career.

A member of the Carroll High School Class of 2007, Roman’s work in media began seven years ago in print and online journalism as a writer, photographer, designer, blogger, and editor-in-chief of several publications. He has been doing creative and commercial freelance video production for four years.

In his three years of work as chief revivalist and President of Brown University Student Television, Roman created and operated a new organizational model with a social media driven marketing division and brought involvement from four to more than 300. A media community leader, he is the founder and Executive Producer of the Brown live online news show, a regular at open mic nights, and maintains three jobs, two of which are in media support and media production. Like the rest of the crew at Neovia Solutions, he’s got the entrepreneurial spirit.

Otherwise, Roman writes and produces songs and films with his friends, buries his head in books on existentialism, and maintains a blog on the study of love. He updates his Facebook status excessively, and should take Neovia’s advice and save it for Twitter.
