Baylor was awarded the highest honor for his rainforest research video shot in the Panamanian jungle in January 2015. Baylor followed several UWM student-researchers as they tracked Panama’s trees in search of keys to climate change. Watch the video for strong shooting, storytelling and 90-degree temperatures you can almost feel through the screen.

Baylor came UWM two years ago after working in TV news for nearly a decade. Higher Education Marketing Report is a leading education-marketing journal in the United States.
