      Currently employed in a fellowship, I am able to express my creativity to empower diverse millennial women. My predominant focus is to assist the head video editor in all areas of production including creative, technical, and administrative support. This position also allows me to explore new media content and headline opportunities relevant to our target audience. With this I have gained an elevated talent for identifying and researching material for stories covering life, love, news, social justice, pop culture, and more. The highlight of this opportunity has been being selected as one of the first few members of the video production team and entrusted with creating a plethora of short videos for publication.

      Upon accepting this position, I was quickly directed to spearhead all social media management for this emerging, full-service online branding company. I was handed the responsibility to launch online exposure by initiating all social media accounts including, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Through this process, I was successful in recruiting new clients and in turn, increasing company revenue by 20%. In addition to my acquisition duties, I also maintained professional relationships and rapport with all client accounts and local community.

      I fulfilled this role with demonstration of exceptional leadership skills and mentoring abilities. I had the opportunity to lead a team of 15-20 students through video production, photojournalism, and exploratory projects. As I assessed the students’ progress, I was able to impart my knowledge in proper techniques and approaches to shooting video, recording audio, editing, and shot composition. My continued efforts and work culminated in the finalization of 5-10 year-end student projects with my added suggestions for superior quality content.

      As my first introduction to news coverage and delivery, I am grateful that I was a part of this local forum. This very raw and original publication required thorough action in news gathering, production, and dissemination of news which I accomplished by submerging myself into the local community to fully comprehend the significance of our coverage. On camera, I connected with local government officials and community leaders, to deliver essential details to hard hitting topics that affect the Philadelphia community.

      As a student at Temple University, I was able to take advantage of the on-campus opportunity to work on the university’s first entertainment talk show, Temple Talk. Rounding out my education, this role gave me the hands-on experience to apply textbook knowledge and methodologies to a successful television production. I was directly involved with writing, editing, and organization of all production and correspondence material. I was also a main contributor to on-camera activity such as reporting from live, organized events and on-air interviews with the show’s most eminent guests and celebrities. I even developed and produced a brand-new segment, known as “What’s Trending?” that went on to be a huge part of the show’s continued success.
