As a Media Executive at DD News, I handle everything from scripting to shooting to editing news explainer videos - often working solo across the entire production process. I also manage social media content and design graphics for digital platforms. This experience has given me hands-on exposure to what it actually takes to produce content under real deadlines, and I'm now looking to move into a full-time Producer role.
