For platforms like TikTok and Instagram, I start by researching trending topics or sounds, then I use that info to develop a video concept. After, I plan the script or outline the clips I want to capture. When it comes to filming, I make sure to always use natural light and in some cases my ring light. During editing, I focus on clean cuts, removing blank space, adding effects if needed, and incorporating aesthetic text. Specifically for Christian content, I stay tapped into trends on Christian TikTok and would plan at least 20–30% of videos to align with those popular sounds and topics, while keeping the content meaningful and authentic to my faith.

For me, a TikTok video is engaging if it grabs my attention right away, either with eye-catching visuals or quick, snappy editing. After that, it should get straight to the point and offer some kind of value, whether that be humour, something relatable, a life hack, or something aspirational. I especially love funny videos where the creator talks to the audience, like GRWM/storytime content, with snappy edits and lots of humor that help me get to know them.

I’m a Resident Assistant, where I host biweekly events for 50+ girls in my dorm, and residents often invite their friends as well. I’m also part of the Women’s Health Association as an Event Coordinator, where we plan and host monthly events for members and the broader campus community.
