Salt Company Omaha—Citylight Omaha’s college ministry—gave me the chance to dive headfirst into the wild world of college students (aka the most sleep-deprived yet passionate humans on the planet). Working with them meant dialing in on a specific demographic with its own unique vibe, distinct from the broader Citylight crew.

From planning and executing digital media for events to whipping up promo videos and crafting branding for their epic kickoff events, I got to experiment, adapt, and learn a lot. One of the biggest takeaways? Mentoring interns and residents is a game-changer. Watching them grow into creative powerhouses while helping shape high-quality designs and videos has been ridiculously rewarding—not to mention a crash course in leadership and creative development for me.
