ABOUT ME
Professional Summary
Starting in middle school, I have experience using the Adobe Softwares from the Creative Cloud, especially Premiere Pro and Illustrator. I have learned how to be quick and effective in editing videos and being able to think outside the box while creating designs. I have used these skills to be able to create designs and videos to help my community by sharing their message through media. I have also learned how to use DSLR cameras, owning one of my own. Being able to get good angles and meaningful shots for videos is essential during editing videos to allow the viewers to get a new perspective on the topic. Thinking outside the box was an essential life skill I learned throughout my journey as a media specialist.
​
These experiences have also taught me life skills. I have learned how to be able to conduct an interview and how to always build on answers, creating questions to learn more. I have also learned how to approach strangers and being open to their ideas. The ability to communicate with others takes time and I have developed this skill during broadcast, working together as a team. Accepting criticism takes time to learn and understand; I am very grateful I got the chance to understand how to accept these critiques throughout my education, especially in my media classes.
