About

I’m a seasoned camera operator with over 12 years in the media industry, specializing in television, film, and live event production. I’m proficient with a wide range of cameras and workflows, and I pride myself on a meticulous eye for detail and a knack for capturing compelling visuals that tell a story.

I regularly collaborate with directors, producers, and fellow crew to shape the look and rhythm of a project. I’ve led drone operations, mentored junior operators, and thrived under pressure on fast-paced shoots, always aiming to elevate the visual storytelling and support the team in delivering award-winning work.
