Sallie
I currently serve as video editor and animator on the Sallie Mae Brand team.
During my time here so far, I have gotten to work on several video projects aimed at increasing education and support around everything higher ed, whether it be financing education, the application process, or college success tips.
College Prep Kitchen
Conversations about college, especially about how to pay for it, can be hard. So what better way to do it than over some (maybe undercooked) chicken?
​
College Prep Kitchen is a series Sallie produces to help facilitate tough conversations in a fun way, and inspire viewers to do the same.
​
We visit a high school student and their guardian in their home, and film them attempting a mystery recipe while answering college related questions. Along the way, our cooks discover topics that may require further research, connect on shared insecurities or excitements, and ultimately build a plan to tackle the complex higher-ed process.
​
When I joined Sallie, I had the chance to play a key role in the production of the two latest episodes of CPK. I helped cast, prep for and film the episodes, and then collaborated with another video editor for post production tasks.
​
I was responsible for editing and structuring several hours of raw footage to create a smooth narrative and story, as well as color correcting, some sound design, and inputting graphics to help with storytelling and humor, some of which I designed and animated myself.

College Underground Podcast
College Underground Podcast is a podcast with real students giving advice on all things college.
I was responsible for a large amount of the editing for three 20-30 minute episodes.
