Video editor and cinematographer for Millennium Space System and BD Performing Arts, shaping documentaries and boosting engagement 15,590%.

Message

At Millennium Space System - A Boeing Company, I edited and produced short-form news and feature content, translating technical subjects into accessible visual narratives. I also managed assets and post-production pipelines to broadcast standards.

With BD Performing Arts, I edited multi-episode documentaries about daily life, performances, and national events. I shaped narrative arcs from unscripted footage and helped drive a 15,590% increase in engagement through strategic storytelling and editorial consistency.

At Dark Sky Percussion, I worked as DP and gaffer on show trailers, legacy documentaries, and interview series, developing lighting plans to match each story. I also developed storyboards and shot lists, mentored a media team, and maintained color consistency across platforms.

My project work includes the TRACERS Mission, where I produced, shot, and finished mission explainers and collaboration features, and Half Past Midnight, where I collaborated with artists on interview topics and provided creative direction. I work across documentary, news-style, branded, and technical storytelling, using tools including Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve.
