I was originally hired on as a video editor for the blended educational department. I edited 10-15 videos a quarter, as well as produced and shot numerous videos on a need-by-need basis. After a year on the curriculum team, I was promoted to the position of lead video editor for the marketing department. With the marketing team, I edited testimonial videos which were used for marketing on the web. I also edited several broadcast spots, as well as internal-use videos for the company as needed. I also created illustrated assets for several of our animated/motion graphics spots, and created print media when needed.On top of my editing and design responsibilities, I also worked on the versioning of Kaplan's broadcast spots.
