What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated videographer and photographer with extensive knowledge in live television and video production. My journey in this field has allowed me to work with various esteemed organizations, honing my skills in camera operation and production management. Currently, I serve as a Studio Camera Operator at Newsmax Media, where I operate both pedestal and jib cameras for news broadcasts, ensuring high-quality visuals for our audience.
Previously, I worked as a Robotic Camera/Playback Operator at SNY, where I operated robotic cameras for popular shows like Baseball Night in New York. My role involved not only camera operation but also playback video for the New York Mets' pre and post-game productions. My experience extends to WFSU Public Media, where I controlled robotic cameras during government meetings, showcasing my ability to adapt to various production environments.
In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong background in customer service, having worked in supermarkets for nearly a decade. This experience has instilled in me a passion for helping people, which I carry into every aspect of my work, whether in media production or customer interactions.
