- Volunteer Client Video Work | 2021 - Present
For one of my classes, I worked alongside clients to make videos for their company based on what they were wanting. I was able to work with the clients to determine what they needed, their target audience, and how to appeal to them. I then produced the videos alongside two other students and edited it together for the clients. Through this process I learned about what it is like to apply what I have learned in college and applying it to other companies or businesses.
