About Me
I've worked on a variety of projects from short films, animation, documentaries, and corporate videos from production office to sound recordist. I'm extremely adaptable when it comes to equipment and most of my experience is with the SoundDevices 633 and Zoom F8N.
In addition to audio recordist, I also am a writer, producer, location scout, script super, and production coordinator/supervisor. In 2018, a short film I wrote called "The Cat" won the Best Ohio Film Night Mare award at Nightmares Film Festival in Columbus, OH. Since 2020 I've AD'd 3 features and 2 short films.
I love the community and teamwork of working on set. I want to continue building my skills and provide the best possible work I can for every single piece I work on.
I have been in the industry since 2017.
