Work Experience

director / Production lead at Thrive Courses Studio
August 8, 2016 - Present
At Thrive Courses Studio, I handle both directing and hands-on production. I’m running camera, lighting, and audio while also coaching clients so they feel natural and confident on camera. I’m involved from start to finish, helping turn ideas into clear, effective video, especially for courses, ads, and branded content. On set, I manage the flow, solve problems, and make sure we get strong takes without burning out the client. Overall, I wear a few hats: director, operator, and client coach—making sure the content looks good and actually connects.
