After graduating from Penn State with degrees in Film/Video (BA) and Psychology (BA), I had the opportunity to move to Los Angeles, where I worked as an intern and PA (production assistant) both in-office and on-set for several major studio productions, including ABC's Cougar Town. After the wrap, I returned to Pennsylvania and worked for the local PBS affiliate as a PA, Camera Operator, Audio Operator, and Utility. Here, I learned the ins and outs of multi-camera studio operation and developed technical skills in camera, lighting, audio, and on-screen graphics operation. After some time, I moved to New York, where I started as a Set PA for studio productions such as Ghostbusters (2016), TMNT: Out of the Shadows, and Madam Secretary, as well as reality television series like The Real Housewives of New York, and true-crime docuseries including Evil Lives Here and My Dirty Little Secret. During this period, I continued freelancing as a camera operator for multi-camera live events through Vimeo's Brooklyn-based Livestream, and worked as a Grip/Electric, Audio Operator, and Livestream Encoding Engineer for various companies. Eventually, I was offered a staff position as Casting Director at Red Marble Media, a production company specializing in true-crime docuseries for Discovery ID. I cast hundreds of roles across the series Shattered and Evil Lives Here (ELH). I later began directing on-set for ELH while continuing my casting duties. After season five wrapped, I transitioned into the role of Director of Development, working closely with the founders of the company to pitch new series to networks like History, Travel, Discovery, and Discovery ID.  In 2020, with the onset of the pandemic and the shutdown of production, I pivoted to Amazon, where I was brought on as a graphic designer specializing in on-screen graphics for their multi-camera livestreaming content. Here, I built upon my experience in live production as well as my photo and video editing skills while developing my abilities as a motion animator. Thanks to my previous experience leading teams across various levels of production, I quickly became a senior designer and project manager for the graphics team. For years, I led the team on major tentpole events like Prime Day and Black Friday, coordinated with various client and Amazon brands, and several times stepped in to manage the team during periods of leadership turnover. Today, I continue to use my skills as a director, producer, and creative artist to create story-driven content for both personal and professional projects.
