I love it when my career takes a sharp left turn—it usually leads to unexpected (but pretty damn exciting) discoveries about myself.

One of those turns happened when I joined Go2, a remote staffing company. I came in as a Learning & Organizational Development practitioner, but about six months in, the company shifted gears on how it approached leadership and professional development. Next thing I knew, I was creating content—internally and externally—and just like that, I found myself deep in the world of digital marketing, social media management, and content creation.

Here are some of the short videos and reels I produced for Go2’s socials.

I have an advocacy where I help out small businesses in my community with their social media—no strings attached, just because I love doing it, and it's always good to see small businesses thrive in this volatile economy. 

A few months ago, I found this new coffee spot—Cafe Amigos—literally a cartwheel away from home. I pitched an idea to the owners, they humored me, and now? I pretty much consider them family. The best part? The back-and-forth of ideas, the collaboration, the learning. I get to experiment, keep up with video trends, and help a local business grow all at once.

Recently, I quit my job as a content production specialist at Go2 and went back into the remote job market. That’s when I stumbled upon Rocket Station, a company with a brand and culture that had me hooked from the get-go.

I applied for their video editor role, and as part of the screening, they asked me to re-create one of their videos from 2022. Challenge accepted. Armed with Canva and Lumafusion, I dove in, learned some new tricks along the way, and honestly had a blast putting it together. They didn't like it; I loved it (hey you have to be your own biggest advocate), and here's hoping maybe you will. Also it’s a reminder that sometimes the fun of creating is the real win.

Last year I teamed up with Go2’s Head of Content and Sales Team to whip up this marketing video. This was aimed at potential clients and investors to showcase what Go2 can offer, and give a bit of insight on Go2's employee selection process. We opted for a minimalist look and feel (including the audio) so viewers could focus on the message without any distractions.

Fun fact: I had no formal training in animation or creating animated videos, so this project was quite the experience—literally doing more with less. 

I'm always on the lookout for local businesses to support, especially those with a legacy of creating world-class boxing champions -- there's not a lot of those in my area. That’s how I found myself in love with Elorde Gilmore's community and coaches. As a student and member myself, I couldn’t resist volunteering to produce images and videos for their social media pages -- I wanted the gym to succeed. This short video was made to promote the matches of four boxers from the gym.

Fun fact: All four fighters won their bouts with spectacular and decisive finishes, including two first-round KOs. 

I first crossed paths with the HighPower Dance Crew while working on my 10 Zones and a Sun street photography project in BGC. There they were, rehearsing on a random side street, and it instantly struck a chord with me. As someone who used to dance and choreograph, I couldn’t help but be inspired by their commitment and dedication to the craft.

They invited me to do an impromptu shoot (on their next rehearsal), and next thing I knew, we were making a KPop dance cover video. I’ll be honest—it wasn’t easy since I barely knew the routine, but we rolled with it, improvised, and somehow made it all come together.

Fast forward to now, and HighPower Dance Crew is crushing it on bigger stages, with a growing fanbase that just hit 68K on Facebook. Seeing how far they’ve come is just as inspiring as that first side-street rehearsal.
