Summary
By focusing my last 15+ years in the non-profit video production field, I have learned not only about how to create media, but who gets a chance to create it. Portland has changed exponentially since first moving here in 2001, and unfortunately some of these changes are not necessarily for the better when it comes to access.
My passion in media production is to continue to educate and lend my expertise to those that have been historically ignored and struggle to create media content for their community.
