Hello, I'm Ann Marie Bottita.
My name is Ann Marie Bottita, and I am a videographer and editor with an affinity for storytelling. I have participated in projects ranging from artist profiles, to live TV, and even a docuseries about rescue dogs! Stories exist everywhere we look and my goal is to capture those wonderful moments. Working in media, I have learned that stories happen where people are. I capture moments and stories turn them into videos to be enjoyed and to be remembered. I graduated from Oregon State University in 2024 with an Honors Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts with a major in digital communication arts and a minor in writing. In 2021, after my first year of college spent online, I found Orange Media Network (OMN). I joined their TV station, KBVR-TV as a volunteer, and later took on the position as Creative Video Associate. I spent another year as a Creative Video Associate in 2022, before becoming the first ever Creative Video Team Lead at OMN for the 2023-2024 school year. Through OSU and OMN, I was given the opportunity to attend College Media Fest in 2022, where I received two national awards in person. Additionally, I worked at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas for two years as an intern during the event. From June through September of 2024, I worked as an intern for KPTV in Portland. During this time, I gained experience in field reporting, news editing, directing, and working in creative services. I am currently a video marketer for a small tech company in Portland called NexiGo, and I am always working my own personal creativities as well!
