01 // About

TECHNICALLY
ROOTED PRODUCER

I'm a Junior at Montclair State University studying Film & Television with a 3.8 GPA, currently serving as Producer and Technical Operations Lead for Montclair News Lab, a student-run newsroom producing weekly live broadcasts.

I look at all of my projects through a technical lense, which means I understand the systems my coworkers and I are working with. In broadcast and video production, that difference matters. When there's a problem or a challenge putting together a production, I can coordinate a direct solution in real time.

I specialize in editing, post production, vMix operation, multi-camera switching, and LiveU operation, while also producing rundowns, writing scripts, and coordinating crew. Available for internships and entry-level positions starting Summer 2026.
