What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can direct live production, shoot and edit compelling content, and keep improving my workflow under pressure—collaborating with a creative team that values accuracy, storytelling, and fast execution.

I’m a Communication student who has “lived behind the lens” since grade school, evolving from student photojournalist to college production crew calling the shots behind the scenes. I don’t just study media; I build it, turning moments into movements through one frame and one edit.

I thrive where creativity meets technical execution—directing technical Humanities and Social Sciences cues in live production, capturing raw emotion as a camera operator, and editing fast-paced, thumb-stopping Reels. Whether it’s cinematic composition, audio capture, or post-production workflows, I focus on storytelling that holds attention.

As a Technical Director, I orchestrate the visual flow of live broadcasts by leading a team of camera operators via real-time comset communication. I handle live switching and feed management under high-pressure conditions, while also managing logistics, troubleshooting equipment, and adapting quickly when production pivots.

I pair media ethics and journalism fundamentals—news gathering, media writing, investigative reporting, and communication models—with hands-on content creation. My work is backed by strong photojournalism recognition (including “4 consecutive years” in the Photojournalism (English) category) and my creative editing toolkit: CapCut Pro, PicsArt, Alight Motion, and Canva.
