What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles creating narrative-driven audio/video content and systems, leveraging AI for quality evaluation, mentoring teams, and managing end-to-end production in collaborative, mission-driven organizations.

I am a senior audio and video producer with 15+ years designing narrative-driven content across broadcast, digital, and immersive platforms, delivering high-quality creative work in remote and hybrid environments.

I lead end-to-end production, from concept and scripting to directing, editing, and distribution, and have produced promotional campaigns for regional and national broadcast outlets while guiding talent and maintaining editorial and brand standards.

I apply generative AI tools for content ideation, evaluation, and workflow optimization, and I teach and consult on audio/video production, storytelling, and AI-informed editorial evaluation.
