Shelby Shone's Portfolio
Hello there,
I’m Shelby Shone and thank you for considering me for this opportunity. I’ve been an avid media enthusiast for my entire life, and I’ve finally developed the skills to be an asset when it comes to media production. Helping someone find the words or images to accurately express themselves is such a motivating endeavor for me, and I can’t think of a better reason to get out of bed and go to work every morning. I look forward to working with you, and I hope you like what you see.
University of Maryland
Since I started at UMD in 2023, I have gotten to work on so many different types of projects. Technical writing, graphic design, video production, and even app development! This job has let me flex my video production skills in an entirely new direction, creating professional style informative videos for the university programs, while also creating fun and engaging videos for social media to advertise numerous services . Being a Terp has been a blessing for me and my professional development. Let me show you what I learned!
New Hope
Working with New Hope was such a treat. They are a faith-based afterschool care program run by John and Christine Newman, and the work they do tutoring and engaging these kids is invaluable. Afterschool care and tutoring can be extremely cost prohibitive to parents struggling with poverty, and New Hope provided the Azalea Park community with a helping hand to help their kids grow. I assisted with the production of new brochures, promotional pictures, as well as researching and pitching a rebrand at the request of the founders.
Video Production
Starting my own YouTube channel during the pandemic was the best thing I could have done for myself. Having just finished my Master’s program only to be greeted by a job market devastated by Covid, I was itching for a way to express myself creatively. Here we are two years later and I have written, filmed, edited, and produced over 20 videos for my channel. It has been such an incredible learning experience, as anytime I have had to learn to do something new, I had to attempt to teach myself, which has increased my technological competency greatly. I’d love to put these new skills to use for you, and learn even more about this field
