Catholic High School Basketball (2024-Now)
--
Worked alongside, and traveled with athletes, coaches, and administrators to manage social medias for Catholic. Followed strict post guidelines and a visual identity guide that was in congruence with Catholic High School.
Delivered Game Day graphics for every game of the season, Final Score graphics within minutes of the buzzer sounding, photos for various games all sorted by player, informational graphic designs, and videos. Helped gain fan support by growing the Instagram account by 1000 followers in my freshman year along with over 70,000 total likes. @CHSBRHOOPS on Instagram was one of the most sucessful high school athletic accounts in the state of Louisiana and even certain parts of the United States.
Displayed skills in the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, including, but not limited to, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro. Quick turn-around times for pictures, videos, and graphics.
2024-25 - shot over 45 basketball games (pictures and video)
Red Storm Basketball
--
Worked with Red Storm Basketball as a photographer to promote Red Storm’s teams, tournaments, and camps.
Was expected to attend every tournament hosted by Red Storm and certain select out-of-town tournaments. Worked alongside one other creative (videographer) and with the coaches and directors to deliver content for social media.
Was expected to take pictures and to keep them sorted in folders by team and event. Sometimes worked long days during tournaments and often bounced from court to court to take pictures of multiple games at once. Required to take team photos for championship winning teams.
Pictures were posted to various social media sites and viewed by thousands of users per post. Pictures were also used on various graphics used to promote the Red Storm organization as a whole. Made 3 short videos for Red Storm's Middle School Try-Out.
