QUALIFICATIONS AND OBJECTIVE

During that time I’ve developed my shooting and editing skills to create and participate in a broad range of productions, including health and medical programming, corporate, industrial, and promotional spots, documentary, events, and non-profit projects. Possessed of a keen sense of rhythm, music, and dialogue, an eye for natural composition, and highly developed organizational skills.
