Resume
RECOMMENDATIONS
-
“I have worked with Jaquan both professionally and personally. I recently hired him as a consultant to do some editing for a scriptwriting project I’m developing.
He is a talented content writer and scriptwriter, so his expertise was invaluable as I edited my project. Because he has the ability to write scripts that sound conversational and natural, I have tremendous confidence in his feedback and suggestions.
Not only is he a talented writer, but he is also a proficient instructional designer. He understands how people learn and anticipates the questions they may ask. His expertise has helped me strengthen the narrative of my project and ensure strong, smooth transitions throughout.
Aside from his technical expertise, he is personable, open minded, and communicative. I highly recommend him for instructional design, scriptwriting, and copy editing.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working on a team with Jaquan for almost 2 years now, and managing him for the past couple of months. He’s truly a necessary asset to our team because he’s willing to take on any project, and complete it with little to no outside direction. He’s strong willed and knows the best decisions to make to ensure not only high quality videos are created, but also turn out a large quantity of videos in record time. His time management skills and knowledge of video editing is a huge factor as to why we’ve been able to launch so much content in the time that he’s been apart of the team. His dedication and passion for learning is a key factor in his ever growing skillset, and our teams success.
He’s accomplished so much while being on our team at Google by filming 50 Applied Digital Skills lessons, editing 33+ lessons, and creating multiple animations for multiple lessons. He also helped solidify processes for in taking client work, on-boarding actors, and streamlining edits. He also assisted the team by helping create new video aesthetic changes in to our videos, which is something that we haven’t changed in a while, and requires a lot of creative brain-power to come up with. He sat down and came up with some great ideas and suggestions, and created beautiful mock up’s that are now in progress to get approved.
He’s always looking for ways to expand his experience and take on challenging tasks, and does it with a smile on his face and a willingness to share his knowledge with the team. I highly recommend Jaquan for any video production work! ”
