With a background in visual art, It was a natural fit to start off working in the art department. Finding great satisfaction in aesthetic & set design over the past several years, I have also had the opportunity to work in most departments of film and television production. I thoroughly enjoy detailed oriented work that find in working Production. From doing locations, to production coordinating & working in an assistant director role I consider myself an asset on any set or crew.
