After graduating film school in 2014, I began my career in the learning and development industry in 2015, focusing on instructional design and video learning. Over 10 years, I’ve held roles as an Instructional Designer and Video Learning Specialist, earning a certificate in Learning & Development and building a solid grounding in adult learning principles. Alongside instructional design, I’ve led and produced dozens of instructional video projects, hiring talent, sourcing equipment, shooting and directing scenes, and editing thousands of hours of footage. Since 2021 I’ve expanded into promotional video work for small businesses, weddings, documentaries, and short films, while continuing to operate end-to-end in pre-production, production, and post-production. I’m comfortable with camera operations, lighting for narrative, and interview setups, and I bring a collaborative, creative approach to every project.
