FAQ

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
How old are you? 
Although I look like a sixteen year old, I’m actually 27 years old! I get mistaken for a 16 year old ALL the time and it's my biggest pet peeve! 

Where are you from?
I’m from Southern California, born and raised!

How long have you been a teacher? What grades and subjects do you teach?
I currently in my 4th year of contracted teaching. I also taught for a year before as a student teacher and long term substitute. I got my teaching credential in English Language Arts, and I have taught a number of different classes and subjects including ELA 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, English as a second language 1 and 2, Beginning + Intermediate Drama, ASB/Student Leadership, as well as after school Credit Recovery for ELA. Throughout my time teaching, I've taught grades 7-12. I know it's going to be hard, and might take a while, but I've official decided I'm going to try and get a supplemental credential in Studio Art!

What camera and equipment do you use to take your photos and create your videos?
For most of my outfit photos, I use a Canon Rebel T6s and I switch off between the 18-55mm and 70-200mm Canon EF lenses. For my non-outfit photos and videos, I use my Canon SX730 which I highly recommend! When it comes to microphones, I switch off between my portable Samson Go Mic and my bigger Blue Yeti Microphone. I use this SLIK tripod when I need something a little higher, and this Arkon tripod in my car/classroom. I highly recommend these products for aspiring Youtubers!

Who takes your photos and videos for your blog/youtube?
My dad used to take my photos and videos when modeling outfits. Any of the slightly more professional photos of outfits are done by him. However, I often take photos and videos myself using a tripod now, since he’s often unavailable. All other photos and videos not related to style, I take myself. I just set up my tripod, or walk around with my camera for any school related content. I edit all of the photos and videos myself(:

What program(s) do you use to edit your photos/videos?
I use Photoshop and Lightroom to edit most of my blog photos and iMovie to edit my Youtube videos.  There are different versions of Lightroom, but I find the tools to be similar in each version so any version will work!
