I'm a freelancer who lives in Brooklyn, and I have a lot of experience working on smaller and/or corporate video sets as a PA, AC, or any other support-type unit, as I get the most satisfaction out of working behind the scenes in various settings. I love doing whatever I can to help other people enact their visions or just help things go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I've spent a lot of my life supporting and assisting people, whether it be on tv/film sets, in my church, or in my own home (my mom's a doctor with a lot on her plate), and I'm more than willing to do any job, big or small, that makes it easier for other people to better focus on their jobs. If I see someone that has a lot on their plate, I enjoy doing what I can to make that plate a little less stuffed for them. I aspire to make comfortable environments where people are free to be themselves and work to the best of their abilities without anything impeding them. Simply put, I'm a team player that loves to help other people succeed, and I'm willing to learn/do whatever it takes to help make that happen.
