A Lynn Alum’s ‘Claim to Fame’
Lynn Alumnus Moves to California to Pursue Career in the Entertainment Industry
By Sydney Burke, Social Media Editor
Since graduating in 2015, Kevin Studer has done some amazing things, including getting two master’s degrees, working in the Office of Admissions at Lynn University and moving to California to pursue a career in television production.
Throughout his time at Lynn, Studer was involved with Knights of the Round Table, Student Admissions and even served as editor-in-chief of iPulse. Following graduation, Studer worked at Lynn as a campus visit coordinator from 2017 to 2021.
“All of my professional experience before getting into the entertainment industry was with Lynn,” Studer states. “That’s why I love being able to do stuff for Lynn, because it’s been such a big part of my life and my background.”
After visiting Brooke Rudisill, a Lynn alumna who at the time worked for Illumination Studios, Studer decided to move to California. His first job was as a production assistant on Netflix’s ‘”Bling Empire” beginning the same week he finished working for Lynn.
“It’s actually because of Lynn that I got that job,” Studer said. “One of my best friends had a friend who was a producer on ‘Bling Empire,’ so she connected us.”
Since that show, Studer has worked on other shows such as “The Ride,” “Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake” and “Claim to Fame.” Most of the jobs he has been offered have been because of connections he has made in the past.
“I got the job on ‘Claim to Fame’ because a producer from ‘Welcome to Crappie Lake’ reached out saying they had an opening on the show,” said Studer.
In the last several years, Studer’s hard work, dedication and willingness to take risks have allowed him to achieve his dreams — the very thing Lynn wants for its students following graduation.
