Josh's Story:

 

Josh was born on May 5, 2004 in the village of Johnson City, NY. He was diagnosed with Autism when he was very young and 

he couldn't talk until he was 5 years old. Josh has always had an interest in technology and seeing how they operate. In 2021, he was put in a CTE Video Production program in Upstate New York so he can learn how to make videos and learn something new. He worked on learning how to use Adobe Premiere Pro as well as Adobe Audition to make music videos, commercials, radio ads, short films, and a 10 minute studio show! He also uses Final Cutter Pro, DaVinci Reslove and iMovie to edit his videos. Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cutter Pro is right now an industry standard for making videos. Adobe Audition is an industry standard for editing sound and music. In March 2023, he passed his Adobe Premiere Pro test and became certified with Adobe Premiere Pro. When he graduated in 2023, he finished with an overall grade of 95 and continues to make videos for his client's. He also works on paintings and edits and takes photos for people and is a growing artist.

For those you don't know what an Adobe Premiere Pro certified professional is, you have to take a test. On that test, you have to answer multiple choice questions, as well as do hand on work and do tasks in Adobe Premiere Pro. You pass the test if you get 500 points or more. Someone who is an Adobe certified professional means they know the software better then 90% of the people who use the software. It will also show that you have experience with the software!
