Yes, I’ve had experience selling in a more personal and service-driven way through my time as a server. In that role, I learned how powerful genuine connection can be in influencing someone’s decision — whether it’s recommending a dish or creating a memorable dining experience that keeps guests coming back. It taught me to read people’s cues, communicate with warmth and confidence, and tailor my approach based on their interests or needs. That experience directly translates into marketing and content creation — understanding an audience, building trust, and finding authentic ways to guide them toward something they’ll genuinely enjoy.

My video creation process usually starts with an idea that comes from something I notice in everyday life — a small, relatable moment, a trend that feels authentic to my style, or something visually inspiring like lighting, texture, or atmosphere. From there, I’ll sketch out a loose concept and decide how to capture it in a way that feels natural but intentional. I focus on storytelling through visuals, pacing, and sound — making sure every clip adds to the overall mood or message. Inspiration often comes from observing what resonates with people online, mixed with my own experiences and aesthetic. I like finding ways to make familiar moments feel fresh and emotionally engaging.

One piece of content that really stood out was a TikTok video I created that showed my portfolio. It performed far better than my usual posts in views, comments, and shares. I think it resonated because many people strive to have creative portfolios for their careers. The pacing, visuals, and tone all felt natural, and it invited people to engage in the comments by sharing their own similar experiences. I also interacted with viewers after posting, which helped boost engagement even more and build a stronger sense of connection.
