Description
My objective is to obtain a challenging, full-time, entry-level position in film and video production that will utilize my skills and knowledge. While I have worked in video production and broadcasting since 1997, I am returning to the industry after a brief absence. In that time I returned to the University of Kansas, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in film. I am starting anew, but with experience under my belt. Additionally I am looking to relocate to a city with a wider diversity of production opportunities.
