Summary

I'm a photographer, production assistant, and a Los Angeles local that's been passionate about photo and film for years. Being a creative is a big part of who I am and I love to put those skills to work. I have a strong work ethic with a keen attention to detail which translates perfectly while working in production and photography. I'm attentive to others needs and provide support if challenging moments come about. I'm committed to providing high quality work and have experience assembling and breaking down production equipment, assisting with production oversight, organizing and assisting photoshoots, leading photoshoots, and operating Abode Suite. It's important to me to provide a positive attitude while managing multiple tasks until completion. I'm eager to contribute to a team's success through hard work, organization skills, strong physicality, being resourceful, consistency, and a great attitude.
