GreenDesert.Org and Green Desert TV
August 2019- June 2020
GreenDesert.Org is all about sustainable living and educating the public on how we can minimize our footprint on the environment. Green Desert TV the youtube channel of GreenDesert.org has been doing a great job of just that. With 33.8k subscribers and 4,000,000 + views Green Desert TV has created quality original content on a variety of topics from sustainability, minimalism, gardening tips, going off-grid, healthy recipes, life hacks, and much more.
I have loved every minute of this internship and have learned so much under Green Desert Founder and 20-year ABC15 veteran Quita Jackson who's taught me so much knowledge about Broadcast Journalism that we apply on a daily basis for our content. I've had numerous opportunities to explore my creativity professionally and expand my skills in editing, filming, photography, social media strategy, pre and post production, graphic design, and more.
Currently Green Desert's recent project has been going off grid for under $50k. As an Intern I've had the pleasure of working on this long-time project. Below are episodes that I have worked on editing, filming, producing, and promoting.

Photography
Below are just some examples of the photography I've taken for GreenDesert.Org
Logo Design and Custom Graphics
I am a journalism major but I also have a heavy art background. So I got the honor to design the Green Desert Off Grid logo for this series and create and animation as well. Something important to me was to really nail what Green Desert Off Grid was about and incorporate elements that make Green Desert the Green Desert so of course I knew I had to add some gardening beds, draw in echo Ms. Jackson's sweet dog, and add in a sun to represent Arizona and the valley of the sun. Overall I really enjoyed working on this design and having this opportunity.
Social Media Content
During my time interning here one of my primary responsibilities was to post daily and weekly across all GreenDesert.Org Social Media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. I always strove to curate the best content and keep followers engaged and our number did see visible growth since I've started interning. Below are just a few examples of IGTV's I've created in the past.
