Hello! I am a young film maker who is currently working full-time as a freelance Production Assistant. I have had the chance to work a large variety of jobs, such as Reality Television shows, documentaries, music videos, commercials, still photo shoots and live events for networks such as NBC, HBO and TLC.
I am looking to learn as much as I can about all aspects of production, including lighting, lenses and blocking and hope to work towards being behind the camera eventually.
Before I began my transition into production, I built a career in International Development focused on working towards issues I feel passionately about such as social inclusion, environmental justice, and human rights. My ultimate goal is to make documentaries on these topics.
I am open to all kinds of opportunities. Please reach out if you'd like to work together.
