There's like this huge campaign, like one of the biggest deals of my life at the time. And I remember I was like really torn on whether or not I should take it because it was super, super close to my sister's wedding. And like I have only one sister. And I was like the maid of honor. So I was like, okay, I cannot. Whatever I do, I cannot miss that. I was scheduled to get back from that event like the the day before, like the pre-wedding events.

0:22.7

So I was like, okay, I can probably just make it in time.

0:25.4

But I think when I was deciding on whether or not to take the deal, I was like really, really

0:30.0

going back and forth because I was just like, huh, you know, there's like, am I going to be judged by my family by taking on this deal

0:39.7

when it's like so close to like the wedding or like so close to that? Like, is it selfish for me to do

the team with some of our favorite creators. I'm so excited because today I have a very special

0:53.8

guest, a premier video editor,

0:56.4

a content creator queen who not only makes viral content on the regular, but really creates

It's great to be here, even though virtually. But yeah, it's been good in my world. Currently based in Toronto, weather's still sunny and bright. It's not going to be like that soon. Well, this will probably air like later in the winter too. So I'm hoping you have a long fall and it's still

1:29.1

sunny when this actually comes out but that's nice to hear so tell me everything I'm sure like a lot of

1:34.6

listeners and viewers know your content I think you always pop up on my 4-you feed maybe because

1:41.2

I'm like definitely like an editor girly at heart too so it's definitely like resonating

1:46.9

with me but how did this start because I know you've had a unique journey and you've only been

1:51.0

doing it like two years so like how did this unfold yeah so it has been a bit of an interesting

1:57.1

journey I think I like to call myself a bit of an accidental creator in a sense. So

2:01.1

like past lower life, I was actually, like I've never dreamed to be a content creator. I always

2:06.9

watched creators growing up, but for me, I was very much so on the typical like STEM engineering path.
