on life
Through the years
I've been involved in numerous publications for Irvine High School. Through these books, I've learned so many life lessons that would've hard to obtain without this experience. Although you would think that working on a yearbook staff is just about design and photography, I gained so much experience in leadership, publicity, project management, and more.
Especially during my tenure as Editor-In-Chief for the 40th anniversary edition, I realized that leading the development of a yearbook is very similar to working in a startup. We both work in small, compact teams that aim to cover a broad area. We both have to develop an overarching vision for our business. We both take care of finances, marketing, and distribution. And most important of all, we both have to exceed the huge expectations of a new product.
In this section, I hope to display my skills in design, layout creation, and photography. But above all else, this book is a tangible embodiment of my values, work ethic, and leadership.
