I’m a multimedia journalist, video producer, and filmmaker based in New Jersey with experience across both news media and creative production. I currently work at ROI-NJ, where I report and produce digital news stories while also shooting and editing video interviews, event coverage, and short-form social media content. Over the past several years, I’ve built experience across the full production process, from pitching and writing to filming, editing, and publishing. This allows me to manage projects independently and deliver polished content quickly. I also run my own production company, Walking Earth Media, where I produce branded and promotional videos for business clients. What really sets me apart is that I’m comfortable wearing a lot of hats. I’ve produced, written, directed, edited, and performed in dozens of short films and videos, which has helped me develop both a strong creative voice and a practical understanding of production. My background also includes working in television production for A&E’s Cold Case Files, shooting sports highlights, covering corporate events, and directing live comedy performances and digital sketches. Because I’ve worked across journalism, branded content, and entertainment, I’m used to adapting quickly and finding the best way to tell a story for different audiences.
