When USFPG announced the appointment of Michael Melendez to Supervisor, Production and Broadcast Coordinator, Michael reflected with gratitude. “I’ve had opportunities to learn various areas of our universe and that experience prepared me for the productions we support for our film, television and media content producers.

Michael spent nearly six months as a merchandise team manager for Universal Orlando Resort; the ideal position to gain invaluable insight regarding guest services. From there he signed on as an intern with the Universal Studios Florida Production Group; a move that took him closer to using his degree in Radio and TV Communication from the University of Central Florida.

Michael reports directly to Jackie Maness, Jr. who notes that Michael is quickly adapting to the variety of production needs on a daily basis. “I’ve worked on a few projects with Popcorn, our in-our theme park agency; and am really looking forward to being part of the opportunities at our newly purposed Broadcast Center.”

Congratulations, Michael!
