What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create meaningful video, educational, nonprofit, or digital content where I can lead production and post-production workflows, collaborate across teams, and translate complex ideas into compelling visual stories.

I create Emmy- and Telly-winning educational, documentary, promotional, and digital content. At CUNY Television, I produced and edited programming for broadcast and online audiences, leading post-production from ingest through final delivery.

I also edit advocacy and educational work for Everytown for Gun Safety and teach video production, cinematography, editing, and visual storytelling at Grossmont College, Helix Charter High School, and CUNY City Tech.
