I’m originally a video editor with a broadcast television degree and nearly a decade of hands-on post-production experience. From 2017 to 2025 I stepped into a high-pressure IT leadership role at Quality Branded (NYC), building and maintaining a robust technology stack across 11 venues and coordinating with vendors, executives, and cross-functional teams. I delivered 10 restaurant openings, oversaw networks, servers, POS and security systems, IP phones, cameras, and other critical infrastructure, and led IT operations to keep critical systems up and running under demanding schedules. I’m now looking to apply my deep IT operations, infrastructure management, and technical project coordination skills to drive growth and streamline operations in a new role while continuing to pursue my creative passions in video, animation, and 3D design. In addition to my IT work, I’ve sustained a long-running foundation in video and media production—editing, videography, and animation for media outlets and brands. I’m expanding into 3D work with Unity, Maya, and ZBrush to blend technical acumen with creative storytelling and contribute to innovative, cross-disciplinary projects.
