About me

As a graduate at William Paterson University, I have built credentials that would make me an ideal candidate for any position. I was a producer and director of one of the WPTV-6 clubs called WPTV Sports where I was responsible to supervise the overall project, manages shots, and keeps the assignment on schedule. I was also a camera operator of another WPTV-6 club where we shot local bands that play live music for the William Paterson community.

After college I worked at The Rachael Ray Show in New York City as a Field Production Assistant, where I was allowed to participate in field shoots for the show. It not only helped increase my production ability but taught me a lot of new skills that molded me for the future. I recently worked at Worst Bakers in America, which is a reality competition on the Food Network. I’m now a television production assistant and studio manager for a high school that has a full function three-camera studio. This made me even more patient, organized and reliable. With this I was able to help motivate kids to understand simple skills and production value.

In my media production courses, I have become proficient with Avid, Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. I have also written, produced, directed and edited several PSA, projects, and movies as assignments in different courses during my academic year at William Paterson University. I am happy to share samples of my work at your request.

In addition to my academic and extra-curricular background, I worked more than 25 hours per week to support my education. By being active in school and learning other important skills at work, I have become even more focused and responsible. I would certainly apply these skills to a position at any company.
Additional information:
Both extremely motivated and highly energetic, with over five years of professional experience in television and studio production.
Successfully able to operate under pressure and contribute to many creative ideas for an organization. Hard working leader who is capable of accomplishing the overall tasks to further his career.
