About Me

Since graduating in 2008, I have been fortunate to work with many
different companies in developing video elements for internal company
use, as well as for site advertising. When a full-time job did not appear to
be on the horizon, I went a different route and took on as many video
editing projects as I could manage. These projects have enhanced my
technical skills, as well as how to work with tight deadlines, communicate
effectively, and set and manage expectations.
