For the past 15+ years I have worked in many facets of event, livestream, broadcast productions to share stories and experiences from all around the world. Working in both the creative and technical roles allows me to have a high level understanding of each intricate piece of the live production puzzle. I bring a unique, artistic perspective to every project while maintaining a strong focus on the technical excellence to tell the story we’ve set out to share. I thrive in collaborative environments, adapting to remote and on-site setups and translating complex tech into clear, compelling storytelling. My approach blends hands-on production know-how with a creative eye to deliver memorable experiences for audiences, clients, and partners alike.
