Broadcast Video
I started my first video , "Chinatown cookie company delivers good fortune for 58 years and counting," on a rough patch. I forgot to plug in the mic, there was background noise, and it was nearly impossible to edit out the piercing screeches of the ancient fortune cookie machinery. After numerous rounds of edits, I felt like returning to the simplicity of writing, but I kept at it using new tactics to make up for the deficit of clear audio. Flash forward, the video was selected as one of the 25 Best of Best of SNO out of more than 20,000 stories, and I couldn't be more in love with producing videos.
CalTV
CalTV was founded in 2005 and has grown to become one of the largest student-run television organizations on the West Coast. After my time as a high school broadcast journalist, I knew I wanted to continue my journey in college. Throughout my time at CalTV, I have been passionate about uncovering Berkeley's stories - exploring its diverse food scene, rich cultural history, and long tradition of activism and social justice.

Scot Sccop
Scot Scoop News has been the student-run, online news site for Carlmont High School since 2010. I was a news anchor for the broadcast segment of the site. Throughout my three years creating videos for Scot Scoop, I garnered behind-the-scenes experience witnessing passionate individuals pursue their crafts, learned how to conduct conversational interviews, and edited sound bites and B-roll to create engaging stories. I developed a passion for uncovering hidden story angles and shaping them into compelling narratives.
