Week 1 Exploration: What Can I Do With My Degree


With my education at Full Sail University coming to an end, in addition to my family and I taking the first steps to our new lives with new degrees back in Texas. Fear still creeps in at times, like all new things it’s scary. Especially, when it came down to my first interning position for a hip-hop and crump dancing company. To regress, my fear was not of how I was unprepared in my work. It was out of how well I was able to combine what I learned at school with what I knew on my own work and social knowledge seasoned with the lessons learned working with my husband in his DIY punk/ska music business. I can say that working at his label I learned that wearing many hats in a business is far more efficient when it comes to businesses dealing with the entertainment. Today, I’m working with Nicole Conn Films, LLC as an Editor I find myself dealing with event planning, journalism, project management, being somewhat of a personal assistant for Nicole and her partner Sue.
