If you’re reading this, then chances are you’re a University of Wisconsin Oshkosh student, alumni, employee, or a friend or family member of someone affiliated with UWO.

I know this may sound like crazy talk, but not everyone in the world has heard of Oshkosh, Wisconsin! Not many people know the kind of community, excellence and everlasting support to grow and succeed that you receive once you become a UW Oshkosh student. (And no, I am not getting paid to say this!)

I am a proud alumna who knows for a fact that the support doesn’t leave when you graduate, and I would love nothing more than to put UWO on the map.

Now you’re probably thinking- OK, we get it, this person loves UWO. But who IS she?!  Well, I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself sooner! My name is Kylie Hodges. I graduated from UW Oshkosh in 2011 with a radio TV film major and Spanish minor.

I currently live in Los Angeles juggling a few different things: I work as an associate story producer on the HGTV show Flip Or Flop, as a freelance TV host and I consider myself the “social chair” of the UW Oshkosh Los Angeles Alumni Chapter.

Two weeks after graduating from UWO, I started working as the spokesperson for Oscar Mayer, affectionately known as a ‘Hotdogger.’ I drove the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile across the country for an entire calendar year while stopping in a new city every week, meeting hundreds of people everyday and visiting a total of 35 states.

My journey ended with the big move to Los Angeles, where I have resided ever since. I’ve always taken a lot of pride in being a radio TV film student from UW Oshkosh and my goal is to bring people together and create bigger and better opportunities for everyone involved!

That is why I am so passionate about having a UW Oshkosh alumni chapter in Los Angeles. Slowly but surely our modest-sized 14,000 students are building a name for UWO nationwide–and the Hollywood Titans are quickly growing as well!

I’d love for you to join my journey through LA as I build my television career, connect with fellow Titans and navigate adulthood (yikes!).
