Shot Spade A Spade, which won a 2023 Capital/Regional Emmy in the Interview/Discussion category.
Final quality control before broadcast for nearly 100 videos per week, reviewing finished videos for errors missed by editors and executive producers. When deadlines are tight, I correct cuts directly and route larger revisions back to the editing team. Run rundowns and segment prep, handle control-room timing for daily live international news, and operate robotic cameras, technical direction, and teleprompter.
