For many, the transition from high school to the professional world is a period of exploration. For JoJo Moore, our new Marketing and Communications Assistant, that exploration started earlier than most. By the time JoJo walked across his high school graduation stage, he wasn’t just holding a diploma—he already had two Associate degrees in hand: one in science and one in arts.

While his early academic success in the sciences initially pointed him toward a career in medicine, JoJo eventually followed a different calling. He decided to trade the clinic for the camera, pivoting toward his true passion: media and communications.

Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice

During his studies in media production at The University of Mount Union, JoJo discovered a natural affinity for the strategic side of the industry—public relations and marketing. Now, as he settles into his role here, he is eager to put those years of study to the test.

“The position is exactly what I was looking for coming out of college,” JoJo says. “To be able to actually transfer what I have learned but also grow in the position as well.”

JoJo is the first to admit that entering a completely new industry comes with a “tall learning curve.” However, he views the company’s vast network as a major advantage. Because State and Federal Communications is connected to so many diverse fields, JoJo sees this as the perfect environment to apply his skills while exploring new interests.

Looking Ahead: Education and Entrepreneurship

JoJo’s ambition doesn’t stop at the entry-level. He is already eyeing a master’s degree and eventually a PhD to further sharpen his expertise. His long-term vision, however, is rooted in community and accessibility.

JoJo dreams of founding his own production company, which doubles as an educational hub. His goal? Hosting workshops where aspiring creators can learn the intricacies of media production firsthand, providing a high-quality alternative for those who might not have the means or desire to pursue a traditional four-year degree.

Life in the Fast Lane

When he isn’t drafting communications or planning media strategies, you’ll likely find JoJo around anything with an engine. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, JoJo has also become quite the motorhead.

If you see him in the breakroom or at a community event, feel free to test his knowledge. Whether it is a vintage classic or a modern daily driver, JoJo can likely tell you more about a car than you ever thought possible.
