My name is Thalen Zimmerman. I'm a writer, photographer, videographer, podcaster -- a storyteller.
​
In 2021, I graduated with a B.S. in Mass Communication from Bemidji State University. I learned the fundamentals of news writing, creative writing, video production, audio production, design and photography, marketing, and business development.
​
After school, I interned as a reporter at Forum Communications' Alexandria Echo Press. In a short time, I worked my way to a full-time reporter and then to the Content Experience Manager. I wrote news and feature stories accompanied by original photos and videos. I earned several awards for my work in writing, videos and social media through the Minnesota News Paper Association. Along with writing, I also managed the website and various social media sites and produced a bi-weekly podcast.
​
The job helped hone my writing, podcasting, videography and photography skills. I became a better communicator and storyteller.
You can find examples of my work throughout this website.
Today I am, offering freelance media work in video and photography. If you like what you see, reach out and let me do what I love-- tell your story.
