In My Own Words

As an assistant editor and editor, I contributed to post-production efforts on numerous high-profile reality TV series over a 15-year career, working on shows for Bravo, The History Channel, NBC, HBO, MTV and E! - consistently delivering on tight deadlines and evolving creative demands. I collaborated with producers, editors, and networks to shape compelling stories that resonated with broad audiences.

From media ingest to preparing audio and video assets for sweetening and finishing, I have done (and seen) it all. I am ready to use my experience for new opportunities in video production for podcasting, social media and action sports. I would also like to connect with professionals who are working in music and audio production. Experienced with Avid Media Composer. Working knowledge of Adobe.

Currently working in Retail Merchandising, Omni channel order fulfillment and shipping. I also teach beginning and intermediate guitar with over 40 years of playing experience.
