SAN MARCOS – Carrington Tatum, an ambitious Sophomore, is currently pursuing a degree in Electronic Media at Texas State University. Although college was a backup plan for him, he is making the most of it. He works for the school’s paper, the University Star, and is also the YouTube manager for the podcast company: The Loud Speakers Network.

Carrington is an only child and a mama’s boy at heart. Growing up with separated parents made life a little difficult sometimes, but he always had his mom to lean on and his dad to call if he needed something.

As someone who values reason over everything, Carrington is easy to talk to and hold a conversation with. He actively listens and is able to regurgitate information without flaws. He is well-spoken and determined. When he makes up his mind about something, there’s no stopping him.

An eclectic at heart, he has a high appreciation for critical thinking and creativity. He is passionate about filmmaking and wants to work for a production company after graduation. Carrington’s dream job is designing animated films for Pixar and getting the opportunity to travel with the company.
