Daniel Nachampassak, staff writer and editor-in-training
Nachampassak is entering his third year at ECC pursuing an Associate of Arts. He joined The Observer because he wants to learn how journalism works. but also it’s the stepping stone of getting more opportunities to work in professional spaces. The content Nachampassak is interested in are sports, mental health and improving the experience of ECC. Nachampassak is hoping to improve the quality of his stories but also be more consistent. He is also hoping to communicate with photographers more in this semester. His personal motto is “Focus on yourself and keep on moving.”
