About me
Before college I was an avid musician, which eventually developed into a passion for storytelling and gave me the tools for audio work that would later play a role in sound design for filmmaking.In college I worked on a variety of productions: TEDx events, floor directing at PBS, producing for CA State Funded Marine Protected Areas projects, and making my first documentary abroad in Haiti.
After college, I started a commercial video production company and have ran audio for NBC and Khloe Kardashian, produced for Sony Music and L'Oreal productions, as well as worn many other hats for many other productions.
Most recently I've been involved in making short films that have been having a lot of success in festival runs.
I take pride in my work and always strive for effective and efficient collaboration.
