I am a multimedia and video production instructor with a passion for bringing real-world practice into the classroom. I guide students through pre-production to distribution, coaching scripting, storyboarding, and shooting with DSLR or professional camcorders, and mentoring them through post-production using industry-standard editing techniques. Beyond the classroom, I collaborate on video projects, manage labs and equipment, and stay connected with industry standards through professional development and certifications such as Adobe Premiere Pro. My background in education and public safety informs a hands-on, collaborative approach to teaching and production.
