VIDEO PORTFOLIO
I could just link you to my YouTube channel, but I wanted to walk you through the highlights of my 10+ year affair with video production. Thorough? Or vain?
​
Let's dive in anyway.

In 2017, I launched a series of YouTube videos to teach young WOC like me how I budgeted my way out of $12,000 in credit card debt and $38,000 in student loans.

FOR
SCHOLASTIC’S
CHOICES MAGAZINE
I’ve been working with the Scholastic Corporation since 2015 to produce a video series called “How to Deal,” teaching middle school students soft skills through funny and engaging online content. These videos are sent as part of a Common Core curriculum package which is sent to hundreds of teachers in the US each month.

Project explorer
From 2014 to 2016, I served as writer, producer, shooter, host and editor for Project Explorer, an educational online travel show for elementary and middle school students. With a small, all-women crew, we traveled through India, Malaysia, Peru, Singapore, and Australia producing fun, lighthearted videos to support teachers across the globe.

DEEP THROWBACKS
These throwback projects make me cringe a little (a lot),

PROUD GIRLS
In 2009, I joined ProudGirls, a girls’ empowerment brand out of New Jersey, as their video producer and brand ambassador.
Some things I did during my ProudGirls time:

SEVENTEEN X VERIZON
In 2007, I was selected to be amongst Seventeen Magazine’s first class of Freshman 15: Fifteen young women across the US picked to share their college experiences online.
After a year of vlogging on MySpace with an actual handheld video camera, Seventeen chose me to document the end of my Freshman 15 experience through a 3-day road trip with a full camera crew, sponsored by Verizon Wireless. (I guess this was technically my first-ever sponsored influencer trip!)
