These videos, delivered days after instructor-led training, reinforced key concepts through spaced repetition, improving knowledge retention and learning outcomes.

To meet the growing demand for technology and engineering talent, CareerBuilder needed a compelling marketing video to attract interns. I produced, filmed, and edited this video to showcase the unique value of the internship experience, inspiring college students to apply and contribute to CareerBuilder's success.

Pampered Chef consultants shared feedback that finding themed assets for their virtual parties was challenging.
