Summary
An enthusiastic filmmaker with a love for the art and the people who make it. My time at CU Denver has equipped me with a wide range of skills and knowledge, including film editing, script supervision, assistant directing, and beyond. I'm willing to face any task, no matter how daunting, and am comfortable working within tight deadlines, delegating tasks, and workshopping creative solutions to unforeseen situations. I take pride in ensuring that every project I am a part of is complected to the highest possible standards.
