It all started when…

 

As a young kid, I watched a lot of movies. I mean A LOT. I especially loved watching the classics (Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks). But what I loved even more was watching the “making of” shorts they used to have on the main menus of DVDs. I was always curious about what work went into making movies on the back end. “How did they film this shot?” I would wonder. “How did they make that special effect? That was so cool!” These were my constant thoughts throughout any movie I watched, and to this day I still think the same way.

While I was a film major, I didn't know what I wanted to do as a career within film yet. We studied all aspects of filmmaking, so it wasn't until I was an upperclassman that I could focus on post-production. I took my first editing class in my Junior year of college. Our first assignment was to take scenes of our choice from Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” and create a short trailer for the same movie as a comedy. After spending two full days deep in these scenes, I was (maybe for the first time) really proud of myself and how I channeled my inner creativity. It was a moment of insight for myself, as I learned of a skill I didn’t know I even had. My project was used as a sample to show the class what my professor was looking for. That was just the beginning…


As an innovative and technically astute professional, with a BA in Film & Media, I offer a solid record of achievements gleaned through internships and freelance work in a broad range of pre- and post-production. My background encompasses working on the planning, and coordination of photoshoots and video production, image and transcript research, intellectual property rights research, script writing/editing, and marketing/communications material design and development.
I bring the proven capacity to proactively contribute to production processes applying a sound understanding of software editing platforms, technical equipment, sound and lighting techniques to produce high quality video and images. Additionally, I am experienced in supporting producers, directors and creative teams.
I am also adept at planning, scheduling and coordinating production and post production activities, ensuring completion within established timeframes. I am equipped with detailed understanding of digital marketing/social media platforms, and ability to craft/edit and maintain content on websites.
