William L. Baliko

William L. Baliko has always had a natural talent and lifelong passion for visual literacy and visual communication, which he has turned into a career in Marketing and Communications. With over three years of experience and over five years of volunteerism in student association governance and student-run societies, William has learned a variety of approaches to virtual, print, and hybrid media. Raised traveling throughout North America and South Korea, he grew up in the “global village” with an open mind and a love for every culture, nationality, and people group he lived with. William has found a great appreciation in working with marginalized groups, from Indigenous peoples to neurodivergent peers to immigrants from every continent. William has a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts (Visual Studio Art) with an undeclared minor in Psychology/Neuroscience from the University of Lethbridge and a Transfer Diploma in Fine Art (Visual) and Education with a minor in English from Red Deer Polytechnic. When not traveling or working, William is often either in his art studio blacksmithing or in a “list” Marshalling and competing in Medieval Martial Arts tournaments.
