My name is Michaelangelo Betancourt and I am a passionate individual with a love for the arts. I strive for perfection in almost everything that I do, and seek personal satisfaction in my work. I always attempt to do what is right, to be a microphone for minority communities, and refuse to compromise on my values. I hope that through media production, I can help tell stories that will foster a more compassionate community.
