Yes, I have. I help manage a restaurant’s presence on Yelp and Google, so I’m very familiar with both writing reviews and navigating the backend of these platforms. This experience has given me insight into what makes a review helpful and credible, as well as how businesses engage with their customers online.

Yes, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in veterinary clinics. I had a Norwegian Forest cat with severe medical issues, so vet visits became a regular part of our routine. From emergency appointments to long-term treatment plans, I became very familiar with the environment—everything from discussing diagnostic tests with the vet to learning how to administer medications at home. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the work veterinary professionals do and the emotional side of caring for a pet with complex health needs. It was challenging, but it also taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of clear communication in high-stress situations.

This past May, I shot graduation portraits for eight individuals, many of whom admitted they felt awkward in front of the camera. I took the time to connect with each person, cracking jokes, playing music, and giving relaxed, simple direction that helped them ease into the moment. By the end of each session, they were laughing, posing freely, and loving the results. I bring that same approach to content creation. Whether I’m filming a brand shoot or behind-the-scenes lifestyle content, I keep the energy light and collaborative. I avoid stiff scripting and instead guide people with natural prompts and positive reinforcement. I’ll often show a few quick clips mid-shoot to boost their confidence and let them see how authentic and engaging they come across. My goal is always to help people feel like the best version of themselves on camera. When they do, the content speaks for itself.
