Early in my editing journey, it was hard even to start or finish projects because I didn’t have the technology to bring my ideas to life, and I constantly compared my work to others, feeling like it wasn’t good enough. That started to change in 2020 when I got my first iPhone, and even more in 2022 with my first MacBook. Suddenly, I could actually create what I had been imagining, and I spent hours editing, often losing sleep, just trying to finish and prove to myself that I could. In 10th grade, I took my first Adobe class and earned certifications in Illustrator and Photoshop, then Premiere Pro, and finally InDesign; none of them came easily, and I had to retake exams multiple times, but that process built my confidence and showed me I really do have a place in this field. I’ve always been drawn to film and television because of how they make people feel, and I don’t just want to watch stories; I want to help create them and bring ideas to life. I also don’t want people to struggle the way I did, feeling limited or stuck, which is why my goal is to take that pressure off and create the work for them, something real, something meaningful, and something that fully brings their vision to life without the barriers I once faced.
