FACT@VCU - photo and video production
Filipino Americans Coming Together @ VCU (or FACT@VCU) is a non-profit student organization which I was very active in during my years in undergrad. The community gave me the opportunity to serve as a leader in my community and exercise my creative muscles in unique ways outside of my major. This work included recaps that highlighted moments within the organizational, promotional material for our events, and more.

Photoshoots
Assisting in creative direction for photoshoots for the organization was another crucial role I filled. These photoshoots would go on to be used amongst the leaders of our organization as professional headshots or as promotional material for the organization.

barrio fiesta
One of FACT’s many large-scale events includes a Barrio Fiesta, which roughly translates to “neighborhood party.” It is a celebration of community and Filipino culture that is held by FACT@VCU annually with a different theme each year. In 2024, the theme was Festival of Colors, which was centered around the symbolism of the colors on the flag of the Philippines. To showcase this, the shoot was heavily focused on reds, blues, and yellowss
