Dalton

Dalton is an EMT and Security Officer as an assisted living community while he works on breaking into the content creation world on social media and finishing his bachelor’s degree. He is building an online platform for the content and videos that he creates. “I have the mindset and skill set to be able to record multiple videos at a time and get those ready to go. Trying to post two or three videos a day to keep engaged with your crowd is hard. You have to have the drive to do it.” He developed his skills and work ethic over time, first as an EMT and then through an associate’s program. As an EMT, he learned emergency health interventions and also built skills in problem solving, customer service, and communication. He even became a better writer through the detailed but succinct reports he filed on all of his emergency response calls. Dalton obtained a certification to become an EMT but he learned the most in the field. “Most of it is practical work, like knowing how to bandage something, knowing how to do CPR, knowing how to intubate. All these medical things. You can learn about them through text and only by talking so much, but you don’t really know what you’re doing until you actually do it.” Through his associates degree program, he added skills in editing and production software. He got a lot of hands-on experience with different types of cameras and techniques. He notes that being able to edit videos, movies, and pictures puts him a step ahead of others without those skills.
