Jocelyn Nguyen
Jocelyn is a dedicated freelance social media video editor with nine years of experience. Her passion for TV and film started young and blossomed when her English teacher assigned a 30-day project during her senior year of high school, sparking her interest in video editing. Majoring in filmmaking practices, she quickly found her signature style, with early projects showcasing her rapid improvement and distinctive flair.
Unwilling to wait for semester projects, Jocelyn taught herself video editing using found footage from her favorite TV shows, movies, music videos, and fashion films. Her vast media knowledge allows her to find references quickly, setting her apart from her peers who might spend hours researching. Despite facing criticism for her flashy and feminine style, she persevered through trials and tribulations, almost switching to a career in finance. After failing the mortgage broker exam three times, she sought clarity in Thailand and returned determined to make her art known. She worked at a call center, editing videos on nights and weekends.
Her persistence paid off when Instagram Reels and TikTok emerged, perfectly timing her portfolio's release. Agencies were eager to hire her, impressed by her extensive short-form video work. In her free time, Jocelyn enjoys visiting coffee shops, editing personal videos, dancing, and shopping. Bangkok is her favorite city, her favorite pet is a Shih Tzu, her favorite color is pink, and her favorite movie is Clueless. Known for her distinctive style, people often ask if she can create without using pink, to which she confidently replies, "Of course!"
