DAV (Disabled American Veterans)
Assistant National Communications Director
I'm 'the video guy' for DAV's social media team; I oversee video production for all of our accounts.
There are three main things that I spend my days doing: I'll either work on editing videos, take part in congressional hearings and / or shoot videos on Capitol Hill, or take part in strategic meetings with various other veterans service organizations, or the Department of Veterans Affairs. I try to work on my passion of making videos as often as possible, while simultaneously working behind the scenes to improve the lives of my fellow veterans.
Here's the first step for high school students
Your first step should always just be to have a goal, and to be willing to do what you need to do to get there. Know that you can be just as successful without a formal degree as you can be with one, but you certainly can't just go through the motions, get good grades, and expect to make a good career out of something without having a passion for it. Put in the work and remember that nothing comes easy.
