SUMMARY / OVERVIEW: I am incredibly grateful to have experienced opportunities for more than 2 decades working as a Professional Director and Editor in the Film / Television Industry, directing top talent in Hollywood and collaborating with some remarkably talented crew. I’ve worked on The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, The Following with Kevin Bacon, Limitless, The Magicians, Shadowhunters, State of Affairs with Katherine Heigl, Ravenswood, The Originals, Reckless, and more! Now with 18 wins & 25 nominations for my directing, writing, and editing work in television and film, I’ve learned so much! As a multi-talent, I can take a video production from 1) concept to creation to 2) pre-production/prep to 3) video shoot and 4) post-production & editing to 5) completion with successful delivery, on schedule & on budget. I’ve edited over 100+ hours of original content for film, television, web, streaming, network, nonprofit and social media content marketing & brand campaigns. Whether it’s on a set or in an office brainstorming creative ideas, I am comfortable with leadership and promoting a collaborative environment rooted in teamwork. I am a positive force among others, a problem solver, humble and hard-working, an empathic listener, and a patient communicator who finds a way to get the job done, every time. I’ve met incredible people, built teams, solved challenging problems, de-escalated disagreements, taken every opportunity to discover and lift up new voices, and brought everyone together to deliver a successful project for the client/studio. Currently, I’m continuing to expand my content creator skills further by focusing on the convergence of digital/tech and entertainment to tell better brand & film stories with social media, special fx, and creative ideation. I’m always working to learn new skills and identify cutting-edge and innovative technologies designed to streamline and elevate “the story” for both brands and audiences.
