United StatesWhat I'm looking for
Across film and television productions, I coordinated the logistics that kept projects moving—from location acquisition and permitting to schedules, budgets, and vendor contracts. My work included productions such as The Hunting Wives, Halloween Kills, and The Righteous Gemstones.
As a Location Manager, I managed teams across as many as 100+ concurrent locations and supported operations involving 5,000+ personnel. I also negotiated agreements with property owners, vendors, municipalities, and clients, balancing project requirements with cost and practical constraints.
Since 2023, I’ve taken on independent data and documentation support, reviewing federal contract documentation, validating data, and performing quality assurance. I’ve developed my analytics skills through training and hands-on work with Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, while continuing to study SQL.
