What I'm looking for

I seek creative production roles where I can lead shoots, edit compelling video content, manage schedules/budgets, and collaborate with teams to grow audience engagement.

I am a film production student with hands-on experience producing, directing, shooting, and editing narrative and promotional video content. I have delivered short films, social media series, and campus multimedia projects using tools like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

I collaborate closely with small teams and cross-functional departments, managing schedules, budgets, and logistics to complete productions on time; I secured $2,200 in grant funding for a student film and launched a short-form series that increased Instagram engagement by 12%.

I bring a practical, detail-oriented approach to creative problem solving—coaching actors, organizing shoots, creating marketing assets, and producing polished deliverables that have reached up to 17,000 views on social platforms.
