Jillian’s 2022 Wrap-Up: Jpixx Wrapped Series

2022 has been quite a year for me! Worked on a movie in New Jersey starring Pete Davidson from January to April. Moved back to Norfolk in May. Spent two months with my husband before he was deployed in August. And, the biggest event to happen this year was landing a fantastic job at Jpixx in July! It came at the perfect time!

Since working here, everyone has shown they care about one another and are genuine! It’s refreshing to be able to work with talented, charismatic, and kind people. I’ve been with Jpixx for about four months, and within that short time, it’s tough to choose the top three moments for me this year. Though I have been on several shoots, getting to know one another is my favorite. It builds trust, confidence, and makes the workplace comfortable and lively. My first moment was getting the be the liaison on the VBEF The House Students Built groundbreaking! This shoot was the first to get my feet wet, literally. It had been raining all morning and, by pure luck, it stopped in time for the ceremony. Regardless of the weather, everything went smoothly, and I was able to get behind the camera as well! Trey and I tackled everything easily, and the footage looked awesome! Watch it here.

The second moment was our convoy to Busch Gardens. We stopped for lunch along the way at an Italian restaurant, chit-chatted, then went to the park for Howl-O-Scream. Never thought I’d go to one of those but there’s a first for everything! I discovered that the “haunted” attractions aren’t as terrifying as I had assumed. We had plenty of laughs and learned some new things about how to scare one another. It was a great day to be spooked.

The last moment would have to be The Grand Illumination Parade. After months of prep, to see it come to life was something else. Aside from the OEMS Symposium, Grand Illumination Parade was my second livestream. The parade livestream went as flawlessly as possible. It was a hectic, long day but worth it! The entire office was hands-on in order to get this event off the ground, and it was incredible to see us all come together in order to make it happen. It was an experience I’m thrilled to have been part of. Watch back the livestream here!

I am looking forward to what 2023 has to offer me, as well as Jpixx. I am looking forward to growth and all opportunities that head my way!
