Although she began her journey as a student of the School of Journalism, Indiga Christy graduated from Mizzou's Digital Storytelling (DST) program in 2018, during which she studied abroad in Australia. After graduation Christy returned to Australia where she secured a position as an intern at VICE Australia and is currently a full-time editor at a production company. Additionally, Christy has worked on a few freelance short films and with FIFA for the Women's World Cup hosted in Australia.

Christy worked alongside other editors to create in-stadium assets for all of the FIFA locations: Australia, Canada, Sweden, and Jamaica. The assets included two 120-meter-long screens and covered the team's journeys. She also produced match Hype videos and some layers vs. fans videos that were pre-recorded and shown alongside a live feed of players/fans answering the same questions for points.

"It was a huge team effort but really rewarding to see them being played for so many people before and after the matches! It was really interesting to work behind the scenes and be able to access such amazing quality footage from so many different angles (like 4-8 cameras at once), to cut to recognizable songs and not just stock music, and learn all about how a multi-editor, fast-paced workflow with huge stakeholders operates," says Christy.

Christy says her experience in Mizzou's DST program was invaluable, especially learning from Katina Bitsicas. "Learning project organization, building a portfolio, and working through drafts and feedback from peers was invaluable."

According to Christy, video editing is ever-evolving and continues to be a huge learning process even after graduating. She says her time in the DST program and being surrounded by other students with similar interests set a foundation to springboard into her current career.

"I really loved how broad the DST program was, and how we could mold our schedules to what we were most keen on – for me it was editing, for others it was writing, etc. I think it's also a very unique degree that not many have heard of before, but it's super relevant to the digital world we're in now."
