Invited to and attended early screening of “Outer Banks” Season 3, where we interviewed stars Madelyn Cline and Madison Bailey and garnered 15,000 views on our filmed interview

Some More Info:
I was promoted from videographer to Video Editor within only six months of being on the paper.
The Hatchet was one of the only college newspapers to continue to produce video-related content during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With my 3.5 years in an editor position, I was the longest-running staff member on the paper.
