My MCBS Story

By Kaycee SmithNMT Class March 2014

Before I started the MCBS Program I was trying to figure out my next step in life.

I had always thought I would know exactly what I was supposed to be doing and be right in the middle of that career

by the time I was 30.

But then I turned 30…

…and after trying several different routes I wasn’t there yet!

I had just quit a job I loved and moved to a new state…

…to be with my family during a difficult time.

Because of that I had some soul searching to do as far as what my next career move would be. Until finally I narrowed it down to the idea of working with a

creative team in the media world. This was actually the sort of job I had just left.

Seven years ago I kind of fell into a position, in which I worked as a project manager and video producer for a creative team. I realized that in the past 10 years this particular job

was the one I enjoyed most from all the others. It was where I felt most fulfilled.

However, with no formal education getting back into a position like this somewhere else proved challenging to say the least, if not impossible. I

needed a degree.

But I didn’t want to go just anywhere for this.

I wanted the best education I could get.

I wanted to go to a school that had a strong reputation and would give me an edge in the industry.

That’s when Full Sail and the media communications program came on the scene!

I knew I wouldn’t find a better place to start my journey toward getting back into a career I love. And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media

at Full Sail, I’ve had a strong sense that I’m walking in the right direction…

…that’s a good feeling!
