About
I am a Texas filmmaker and film teacher who loves building media through audio recording, video production, graphic design, and 2D animation. For over twenty years I’ve led a comprehensive video production sequence in AISD, and I’m honored to be a two-time Teacher of the Year finalist. I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of media creators and offering community media services.
I specialize in a wide range of media creation skills—from audio recording, writing, and vocal work to video editing and animation. I’m dedicated to hands-on learning, collaboration, and helping students and local creators bring bold ideas to life.
