ELLA D'ADDONA
About Me.
I have always loved the camera, whether being behind it filming or dancing in front. Once YouTube was introduced to me I knew I was hooked. In the sixth grade I began a YouTube channel with one of my best friends and fell in love with editing and creating content. Watching videos of other creators film their lives and share stories online drew me in and influenced me to make my own videos. This hobby later stemmed into a love of social media and content creation on any platform. I became obsessed with editing pictures, recording myself in my room, and posting everything online for the world to see.
​
In my senior year of high school, I took a Digital Media class. This was my introduction to Adobe and what ultimately led me to Sacred Heart University School of Communications, Media, and the Arts. As I entered college I knew I not only wanted to be on screen but behind the scenes. I decided to major in Immersive Media and Mixed reality, allowing me to experience all facets of the media landscape.
​
Now that I have graduated I can truly thank Sacred Heart for allowing me to experience so much of the media world. I am excited to apply my knowledge and skills in the dynamic world of interactive media, and I invite you to connect with me as I embark on this exciting new chapter.
