Video Production & Social Media Specialist





ABOUT ME DON'T WORRY, I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF.

With over 20 years of experience in the video production industry, I have developed strong time management skills and the ability to perform effectively under pressure. My background includes working in high-stakes environments, ranging from professional sports to live ammunition fire drills and helicopter excursions. Additionally, I have had the privilege of interviewing high-level government officials, professional athletes, and celebrities. While not ideal, I am accustomed to working with tight deadlines, often with minimal notice, and am skilled at executing emergency plans to ensure timely and successful project completion.

I prioritize honesty and transparency, and I am not afraid to address areas that require improvement to ensure the final product meets the highest standards. In doing so, I always strive to offer solutions alongside any constructive feedback to facilitate progress and drive success.

I naturally take on leadership roles, but when placed in a supporting position, I ensure those in charge have full confidence in my ability to deliver results with minimal supervision. I strive to make it easy for others to delegate tasks, knowing I will execute them efficiently and independently. However, I am not hesitant to ask for help if needed. I am also skilled at delegating responsibilities and tasks effectively and serve as a reliable source of support and confidence for both my colleagues and talent.
