What I'm looking for

I seek production roles where I can contribute to creative projects, learn from experienced teams, manage scheduling and logistics, and grow into larger producing responsibilities.

I am an enthusiastic, detail-oriented aspiring Producer with hands-on experience in video and event production, from concept through postproduction. I have produced, directed, wrote, and edited short films, web series episodes, and promotional videos that debuted on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

My academic training in Stage and Screen Arts taught me production planning, budgeting, scheduling, lighting, sound, and television studio operations, and I applied those skills to projects such as a music video, educational promotional packages, and episodic web work.

In customer-facing leadership roles I coached teams, managed operations and inventory, and streamlined guest experiences—skills I leverage to organize crews, meet deadlines, and communicate clearly with collaborators and stakeholders.
