I am eager to start my position as an intern with Gamecocks Creative Media in the Fall 2024 Semester. During my internship, I will practice photography, videography and graphic design with the University Athletics Department.

As a content creator and local photographer and videographer, I have been able to develop a steady small business for photo and video within my communities. I have earned and am still earning many loyal customers through services such as photos and videos for local high school athletes, bands/artists, senior pictures, local events, weddings, and many more. I have had the honor of capturing artists such as The Stews, Kabaka Pyramid and bands/artists at Auburn, AL’s AubFest music festival. I have designed and published my own website, manage my own social media, and have implemented and learned about many marketing tactics and goals throughout my journey. Currently, I manage and operate one Tiktok account that has accumulated over 28,000 followers and 1.7 million total likes with my average video receiving ~700,000 views and my highest video receiving 7.3 million views. On my personal tiktok I have only recently started posting and have received ~1000 followers with six videos receving roughly 10,000-250,000 views. I am eager to continue to grow and learn as a creative.

Working alongside University Sports Informations Director Brackin Lambert, I had the privilege of helping to lead the Communications Department through new and creative video and photo production during a time of extreme change for the University. Not only was thisthe University’s second official year in the NCAA, the Sandsharks also played their innaugural Men’s and Women’s basketball seasons this year and I was able to help be a part of the pro- motion and success of these teams. Not only did I dedicate my time to be at every game, but I also worked overtime to practice my skills while creating content to successfully market each team-not only basketball. Before my entrance to the department, USCB’s social media videos were receiving on average ~500 views; now, a video produced by me received an average of ~7,000 views, with my highest viewed video receiving 14.7k views. The opportunity to direct players on media days and capture almost everyone of each team’s games/events, I was able to form connections with players, coaches, staff and even family. Being asked to hold a leadership position provided the experience of conducting interviews for new interns, creating preset and LUT packs for the 2024-2025 academic year, and co-writing a Communications departmental brand guide that will be utilized for years to come.

At War Eagle Productions, I had the opportunity to hold many different roles and each day looked different than before. One day I would be behind a camera at a woman’s basketball game following the players every move from warm-ups topost game. Other times I was spending all day in the production studio helping clip in-game moments.My most common days were the long hours spent working on post-production editing on premiere-pro and after effects and logging footage. What I valued the most from this opportunity was the amount of sports Auburn University offered and being able to capture a wide variety of events for sports such as swim- ming/diving, track and field, etc. I had the privilege of working with and forming connections with a great staff at War Eagle Productions, Auburn Athletics Staff and Coaches while learning and experiencing the different forms of sports production.

The Auburn University Glomerata was the University’s yearbook staff. I hadthe honor of being accepted as a photographer on the staff. During my time as a photographer on the Glomerata, I was given the opportunity to photograph iconic Auburn University events, such as “Hey Day,” the “Oldest Rivalry in the South”’s UGA-Auburn football game, and many other Auburn traditions and events. I also gained influential knowledge and experience in working on an award-winning publication staff. Specifically, the staff worked with Nikon products so I gained influential knowledge on working with this brand of camera.
