I am a creative in post-production who has been an Avid, Premiere, and FCP editor for more than a decade. I am fortunate to have worked with a broad range of clients including broadcast networks, corporate clients, ad agencies, and documentary filmmakers. Most recently I’ve been producing promos for broadcast and social media distribution. This diverse spectrum of work environments has taught me to work quickly and efficiently with a variety of producers, both as a team player and flying solo when necessary. I am adept at juggling projects, organizational tasks, implementing graphics, incorporating music effectively, and taking and properly executing notes. In addition to a background in all elements of post-production, I also have had considerable experience in pre-production and production, including content creation, shooting, and directing. I greatly enjoy exercising those muscles when the opportunity arises.
