Who You Are:

  • Education: Currently enrolled in college or a recent graduate (within the last 1-2 years).

  • Video Editing Proficiency: Comfortable and fast in shooting and editing short-form video using tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or similar software. Please specify your preferred editing suite.
