SpaceFlight Insider
In March 2019, I created a weekly news update video called "Space Bulletin.” I completely produced the first 10 episodes and created a detailed workflow to serve as a guide for other team members to produce future episodes.

Between summer 2019 and January 2021, I took a break to focus on building Orbital Velocity. |
