I've had an incredible year of teaching, instructing, and consulting. From mentoring students at LA Mission College to consulting Ad Agencies for Youtube, I'm grateful to share my experiences and knowledge to those who need it. One of my favorite programs is Youtube's Nextup program in which I was the co-lead TA and mentor. I was once again able to help Youtube creators with 10k subscribers and up how to use basic filmmaking techniques to improve their channels. I've taught and mentored at a total of 3 NextUp programs this year and all of them have been filled with amazing creators that I can now call my friends :)
