About

I’m a creative content producer with 5+ years of experience in video production, from concept development through final delivery. I’m skilled in camera operation, lighting, audio, and on-set production support, with expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects). I’m growing in my cinematography skills as I take on new projects.

I’m an experienced in editing workflows, media asset management, and adapting content for multiple digital formats. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced, team-oriented environments, bringing strong organizational skills and a passion for storytelling. At the core of my work is process - and I genuinely love it. From the first conversation to the final cut, I care deeply about building trust with everyone on set, discovering the heart of a story and creating an environment where honest, meaningful stories can emerge. I contribute where I’m needed, stay open to others’ perspectives and always work with collaboration in mind. For me, how we tell a story is just as important as the story itself.
