We were thrilled to sit down with recent FMA alum Leslie Alcantar, TFM '22 - who worked as an editor with MrBeast - the most watched YouTuber in the world with over 8 billion views. Leslie talks about her time at MrBeast, what it was like becoming the biggest channel in the world and what it takes to work in YouTube content creation. 

"It was just crazy going into work the next day. We're the number one YouTube channel in the world, that's crazy!" Leslie said. She also gives advice for incoming Temple students: "Network.... Obviously, experience is also everything, but if you know the right people, you can get a job easier."

You can watch the whole interview here. Thanks for the interview, Leslie, and we can't wait to see what you do next!
