Summary

Working as a freelance videographer, I developed my creative skills developing individual projects, as well as work with clients to make the product they want to see in its best form possible. As a News Producer I developed my team working skills. Instead of working alone I was with a whole team working to make a successful project every night that we could be proud of. I also learned both how to be leader who shows the team the respect the deserve because we are all on the same team with the same goal.
