Summary

I create schedules, edit sizzles, cover scripts, develop ideas and pitch decks for the executives of scripted and unscripted series. Additionally, I have been asked to shoot and gaffe on a number of productions, and was a freelance editor for a comedy podcast, finding the funniest way to cut the project. Throughout all these jobs, I was able to maintain a strong work ethic, while also being able to communicate to people. I hope to use this experience to assist executive producers, editors and directors in managing their day to day tasks while also helping create shows and movies that redefine the genre.
