Dymanh Chhoun (he/him)
Dymanh was the first person in his family to attend college. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2011 with a Journalism and Mass Communication degree. He got his first job as a photojournalist at Fox 21 in Duluth before joining KTTC-TV in Rochester, Minnesota. He stayed at KTTC-TV for about 2 years and a half before landing his dream job as a photojournalist at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. After 6 years at WCCO-TV capturing breaking news and many marches and protests in Minnesota, he joined ThreeSixty Journalism at the University of St. Thomas as a Program Manager. He got into the news business because of ThreeSixty; they saw something in him when he was in high school and told him to join their summer workshop program. After joining and falling in love with the news programs, he decided to go into journalism, and he never looked back. Now he gets to work with high school students at the University of St. Thomas who might be interested in journalism. He hopes to use his experience to help and guide them in telling their own important stories.
