Developing my superpower
Storytelling
As long as humans have sat around a fire, and even before, people have been telling stories. In a world saturated with depthless narratives, knowing how to tell a story that deeply connects and inspires people is increasingly important.
​​​
Storytelling is, at its core, simple. It starts with understanding people...
How I Came To Understand Others
In 2017, I set out on a mission to connect people from different walks of life by hearing their stories and sharing them with others on social media, and my blog: "The Peoples Person"
Mastering the Creation Process
In 2023, I started offering personalized songs based on stories submitted through my website, capturing emotions and experiences to inspire and uplift. I released 12 of these songs on social media in just two months.
Capturing Business Focused Stories on Video
In the summer of 2024, I applied my storytelling skills to create business-focused videos during an internship at Heritage Painting. I directed multiple projects and refined my expertise in video production, cinematography, and Final Cut Pro, crafting narratives that aligned with business goals.
