About Aaron Pellot

I have spent my career as a media creative seeking unique ways to construct effective intercommunity dialogue. Intersectional perspectives are a pivotal piece of my work, from my time as a writer, speaker, media producer/host, and community engagement.

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, my formative years were spent in South Carolina. I received my Bachelor’s Degree, in Political Science, from the University of South Carolina Upstate. It was here I began my career in media, as a writer, with the university paper, and as a part-time radio host for the local ESPN Radio affiliate. After graduation, I began working for ESPN, in Bristol, Connecticut, before moving back to New York City, to work for CBS Sports Network.

After a second stint in New York City, I relocated to Long Beach, California, where I worked in community relations for the Los Angeles Clippers, and as a traffic reporter for iHeartMedia, with work broadcasted across Southern California. I later decided to attend graduate school and received my Master’s degree in Peace and Justice from the University of San Diego. It was here I studied theories in peace studies, including subjects such as international negotiation, human rights advocacy, peace and conflict analysis. It was with the University of San Diego received a certification in mediation. In my spare time, I play and watch sports (Knicks, Yankees, L.V. Aces, Chargers, Liverpool F.C.), and practice photography, while enjoying the cuisine of Southeast Asia, where I travel and currently live with my wife in Singapore.
