About me
1st AC and HD Video Assist Operator based in Atlanta, GA.In humble beginnings, I began working with image and film in the darkroom. After finding great satisfaction with composition of real-world image and development, I found myself immersed in video & filmmaking.
I thrive in a fast-paced environment and through the need to release my creativity by telling stories. My enthusiasm for the craft runs deep and my wish is to continue to experience and share it with others on set. I hope that my non-stop work ethic and constant eagerness to learn and do better can help serve your project!
