I love learning about film and video, every aspect of it, and the impact it's had on the world. Video is an incredible tool that rousts me to be more cognisant of my surroundings in a way that nothing ever has. It reserves judgement, but also provides a lens through which further examination is allowed, pushing for analytical reasoning through observation while maintaining a status of simple accessibility. Video is a beautiful and almost universal way for people to communicate and express themselves and that is a kind of dialogue that I feel really grateful to be a part of.

I have worked as camera operator and editor on a short documentary entitled Queer Is, editor and sound engineer for a 2013 SIFF Fly Films Documentary Interstitial, and Art Director for a narrative piece with a cast of 16 shot on location in Yakima, WA. I have also produced my own short pieces shot on both film and video.

I have experience using Final Cut Pro, SoundTrack Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.
