About me

I went to school to prep for on-camera work, but my professional career has gone the production route. With an on-camera education, writing experience, and currently working as a Senior Director at WQOW News 18, I am a well-rounded candidate. Some of my skills include Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office, Carbonite Board Operation, Wordpress, iNews, Avid, Xpression, Telemetrics and Palette.
