I am a 20 year who discovered editing as a hobby then as a passion. In 2018 I discovered Vegas 15 Pro. I decided on September 10th 2019 I'd make my first ever singular project. A 911 memorial video I spent 2 hours researching and crafting the video then over night I got a 100 views with only 10 subscribers. Now the video has 570 views. (Link provided in the bottom)Then I continued to keep teaching my self editing then in late 2020 I moved out of the house due to Covid-19 to Caney,OK. There I started working with Betts Ministries as a sound tech then when the current one left. I began running sound after only looking at the Beheringer X16 digital mixer for 5 minutes as the sound tech had said they'd show up that day but didn't. I then taught myself how to set it up and how to use the computer board. A few months passed and we decided to start recording the services but we needed the audio synced. The last person who had done this particular job would take 3 business days It took me 30 minutes. So when I said to my boss "The videos uploading." she looked in shock. Then in my 2nd semester of my junior year the journalism program Epic News Network (ENN) recruited me as a video editor and a writer. ENN is where I started using Adobe Premiere which led to us winning second place, this year out of the top 4 schools of Oklahoma.
