FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I HAVE BEEN A STORYTELLER.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT WASN'T UNTIL I RECIEVED MY FIRST MAC BOOK PRO FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND DISCOVERED, WHAT I BELIEVED AT THE TIME TO BE THE MOST AMAZING INVENTION EVER, IMOVIE, THAT I REALIZED WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IN LIFE. SINCE 13, I HAVE BEEN A SELF TAUGHT VIDEO EDITOR. I LOVED THE WAY VISUAL ELEMENTS AND SOUNDS COULD COME TO TOGETHER TO CREATE SOMETHING MAGICAL THAT WOULD ELICIT EMOTIONS FROM YOUR AUDIENCE. 

 

COMING TO OHIO UNIVERSITY FOR SCHOOL, I WANTED SOME WAY TO COMBINE ALL THE THINGS I WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT. NOW AS A SENIOR, I WILL GRADUATE IN MAY WITH A MAJOR IN JOURNALISM WITH A SPECIALIZATION IN FILM AND MEDIA ARTS & STUDIES. HERE AT OHIO UNIVERSITY I HAVE GROWN MY SKILLSET AND PERFECTED MY NATURAL TALENT FOR STORYTELLING AND VIDEO PRODUCING. WHILE I'VE LEANRED AN ABUNDANCE OF KNOWLEDGE FROM MY CLASSES AT THE RENOWNED E.W. SCRIPPS SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM, I BELIEVE THE MOST KNOWLEDGE I HAVE GAINED HAS COME FROM OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM. DURING MY TIME AT OHIO UNIVERSITY, I HAVE WORKED AS A MULTIMEDIA REPORTER FOR THE LOCAL NEWS STATION IN ATHENS, WOUB, AS WELL AS THE VIDEO EDITOR FOR ONLINE CONTENT AT BACKDROP MAGAZINE. IN ADDITION TO PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, I HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO PHILANTHROPICAL CAUSES ON CAMPUS. I AM A PART OF THE DELTA GAMMA FRATERNITY, AND FREELAND VIDEOS FOR OUR CHAPTER. I ALSO SERVED ON THE EXEC BOARD OF THE UNICEF CHAPTER AT OHIO UNIVERSITY AS THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL MEDIA, RUNNING ALL ACCOUNTS (FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND INSTAGRAM) WHICH HELP PROMOTE AND RAISE AWARENESS FOR THE EVENTS WE HELD AROUND CAMPUS.

 

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WORK EXPERIENCE I GAINED, HOWEVER, WAS SPRING OF 2015 WHEN I TOOK A SEMESTER OFF FOR AN INTERNSHIP IN NYC. FROM JANUARY- JULY 2015 I WORKED AT THE VIDEO PRODUCTION COMPANY IN NYC, ONSLOT CREATIVE. AS THE VIDEO PRODUCTION INTERN, I ASSITANT EDITED ON ALL VIDEO PROJECTS FOR THEIR CLIENTS, SUCH AS KEDS, ALLURE, REPUBLIC RECORDS, STEVE MADDEN, BETSY JOHNSON, ETC. AS AN ASSITANT EDITOR I WOULD IMPORT MEDIA, LOG AND ORGANIZE ASSESTS, SYNC AUDIO WITH VIDEO, PULL SELECTS, COLOR CORRECT, AND CREATE/EDIT GRAPHICS. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE WITH THE ADOBE SUITE USING PREMIERE AND AFTER EFFECTS. FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF MY TIME AT ONSLOT, I WORK EXCLUSIVELY ON A PENDING DOCUMENTARY AS AN ASSITANT EDITOR. MY TASKS DURING THAT INCLUDED LOGGING VIDEO, ARCHIVAL AND RESEARCH WORK, AND ORGANIZING MATERIAL FOR THE EDITOR. CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY FULL RESUME. CLICK HERE TO VIEW EXAMPLES OF MY WORK.
