About

I’m a Creative Technologist, documentary producer, and recent Chatham University graduate with a background in immersive media, history, and audience-focused storytelling. My work combines video production, projection mapping, motion graphics, research, immersive design, and live/event-style technical workflows. My experience spans Walt Disney World operations, documentary media, immersive installations, and production support. As a current Walt Disney World Cast Member in Main Street Operations and Park Greeter, I support parade, fireworks, peak attendance, and special event operations while helping maintain safe, efficient, and show-ready Guest environments. I have earned 21+ Cast Compliments through Guest recovery, accessibility support, communication, and real-time problem solving. Through Chatham University, WQED Multimedia, and DocuNamics, I have built experience in projection mapping, media playback, camera/audio/lighting workflows, editing, motion graphics, sound design, media asset management, and immersive storytelling. My independent documentary work through DocuNamics has generated 1.5M+ views, 50K+ watch hours, and 3,900+ subscribers. I’m especially interested in themed entertainment, live production, projection mapping, immersive media, documentary storytelling, and video systems that transform physical and digital spaces into memorable experiences.
