Summary

My passion is visual storytelling. I have three years of experience in post production, and my knowledge of media management and prep has laid a strong foundation for my ability to craft stories. I have both the creative vision and attention to detail to craft stories that meet the needs of various clients. With an understanding of the production process from pre-production all the way through post, I know the value of teamwork across all areas to ensure the success of a project.
