Hey!

about

I have over ten years of experience working in a wide range of fields and applications in the realm of digital media. I am an experienced web designer, videographer, photographer, video and photo editor, field director, product manager, and marketer. It has been my goal to constantly keep up with new technologies, software, design trends, social media platforms, and distribution methods. My career has seen me working in a wide variety of industries including education, restaurants, hospitality, healthcare, travel, retail services, and entertainment.

technical skills

As a theater degree holder looking for a steady professional path, I studied graduate coursework at Duquesne University to follow my passion for video, photography, marketing, web, and design. Along the way, I polished known skills and picked up several new ones. My education is always ongoing, but here's a good breakdown of software and platforms I know..

education

I earned a BA in Theater Arts at Duquesne University. After graduation, I decided I wanted to pursue my passion for all things visual and digital. Initially thinking I would learn 3D animation, I eventually found my passion in videography and photography. I returned to Duquesne University, and I earned an MS in Media Arts & Technology. As part of my curriculum, I also learned web design, digital marketing, and aspects of media law. I found the marriage of my theatrical storytelling background and media skills proved most useful in helping me create compelling and entertaining projects. So it all worked out in the end.
