Every year, Biola’s Torrey Honors College conducts an orientation week for incoming freshmen we call “Torrientation,” from the words “Torrey” and “orientation.” I served in an event photographer role in 2023 and 2024 on the Photo & Video team. In 2024, I recorded and gathered video from 12 Torrey professors, working on-deadline in the span of seven days to collect, edit and produce an 8:42 introductory video for the freshmen, complete with subtitles, music and a comedic spin to maintain their attention.

Thanks to a Warner Chappell Production Music subscription provided by Biola University, I had non-copyright music to use with the video. Four of the 12 professors were recorded with an iPhone. I had some help from friends with better iPhones than me, but otherwise this was a one-woman project. I edited the video using Adobe Premiere Pro.

For my Documentary and Investigative Journalism class, I interviewed and followed two Marine veterans at Biola for a couple weeks to tell their story.

I used Adobe AfterEffects to create a 15-second Instagram Stories advertisement for a coffee shop at Biola University in my Media Design Essentials class. At around 6 seconds, I masked the hand frames to appear over the logotype.

From a women’s private gym to a cafe to a dentistry to a nightclub, Downtown Fullerton has everything. For my Multimedia Reporting class, I explored how one block can change in just a couple hours with a Sony a6400 camera.
