Sebastian Fraccari is constantly exploring multimedia journalism, communications, and design. From the beginning of his pre-professional career, he sought to learn and understand these topics to create effective, eye-catching, and informative content.

Sebastian has a bachelor's degree in political science and media studies from CUNY Hunter College. At Hunter, he was a Roosevelt Scholar for public policy, where he learned about the modern and historical political landscape through social contexts. During this time, he got a taste of politics as a constituent services representative at  Manhattan Community Board 8 in the fall of 2023 and the New York City office of U.S. Senator Charles Schumer in the spring of 2024. Despite its value, he found that it wasn’t for him

Halfway through his undergraduate career, Sebastian shifted focus. He became the creative director of the Hunter College Olivetree, overseeing the development and design of the upcoming 40th Anniversary edition. Sebastian made journalism a main focus. His writing at The Athenian and the Journalism Department Newsletter aimed to highlight the issues and lives of everyday Hunter students and faculty. At the same time, the Hunter Political Journal gave him a taste of opinion and political writing.

Such an interest in storytelling only morphed over time. Sebastian shifted to video and audio journalism, working on Hunter News Now and even writing several demo pilots for video series. By the end of 2025, such interests landed him the 2025 Jack Newfield Scholarship in investigative reporting.

That fall, he started working at the NYC Department of Transportation through the Civil Service Pathways Fellowship, where he works on the agency’s Podcast, Curb Enthusiasm, as well as their social media & sign sales.
