About

As a seasoned 15+ year professional award winning Director , Editor and Writer, I had the opportunity to study and work in fast pace film productions, studios and schools within the United States and Europe. In my domestic and international film experiences, I have gained the unique knowledge and ability to blend the different aspects, demands and goals in film and studio productions. My number one quality is LEADERSHIP! By setting the example, I lead my team to surpass even their own expectations. Often underestimated and overlooked, leadership is all about communication, patience, tactically creating an effective plan of action and the willingness to shoulder the responsibility of the team. I thrive in a team or community environment, like a family, we are all in it together. From concept to the final cut, I dedicate myself to producing the best and most engaging cinematic experience for the audience. I look forward to collaborating and creating with you. What are you waiting for?? Let's team up! "You are the thing you write! You are the thing you shoot! You are the thing you edit!"
