Summary
I have been a Director, Cinematographer, and Video Editor, shooting both branded content and docu-style productions for the past 15 years. A seasoned creative who is skilled at developing video communications, and strategies across multiple networks, I am driven by a simple purpose: to shine the spotlight on stories that matter. A Video Producer /Shooter – a multimedia jill/jack/j-of-all-trades focused on cinematography, post-production, and visual storytelling (narrative sensibility), supervising motion picture content from start to finish. The ability to work well with others in a highly collaborative environment, including cost information, writing a script, and delivering equitable content while juggling multiple scripts simultaneously.
