Week 1 Project: My MCBS Story

Before I started the MCBS program I had been working in the entertainment industry for over sixteen years. I have worked as an actor, a producer, a first AD, and a production manager.  I thought I had achieved success but then I realized that the industry was ever changing and I wasn’t sure how to keep up. I juggled work, freelance, being a wife, and going to acting class and did it all with ease.  One day I realized that I had a dream to share my knowledge with the world and wanted to do so with a branded YouTube channel. I wanted to show the world that you can do it all by using simple logistical tactics to keep you organized. Because of that, I did a lot of research trying to figure out how to get to my next step. I wanted to start a channel and take advantage of my skills in front and behind the camera. At that point, I realized that I needed to learn about the world of ever changing media and how to brand myself. If I was going to start this channel, I wanted to do it the right way. At that point, I learned about Full Sail’s Media Communications degree program and found a perfect fit. I was finally ready to take the next step in my career. I was going to take my experience combined with the comprehension I planned to learn at Full Sail, to launch my channel and finally share my knowledge. At the age of forty, I decided to take a leap of faith and go back to school. Ever since I decided to continue pursuing my passion for media, I realized that although this will be a tough next couple of years, I am on the right path of achieving my future goals. Each day I become more confident in my decision and soon enough, I will be ready to launch this dream I’ve been wanting to tackle for multiple years.
