KOCT Founder – Bob Bowditch

She joined the Drama Club her Freshman year at El Camino High School, which later landed her in Mrs. Strong’s Video Production class. There, she discovered her broadcasting voice. Working both in front, and behind the camera, Cemelli wants to use the power of media to advocate for positive change. KOCT wishes her the best in her college and media careers.
