I’ve been handling a camera since I was a teenager, and have captured experiences in Tehran, Iran during the Islamic Revolution; Venice and Rome; Athens, London, Paris, Prague; Mexico while tracking migratory wildlife with biology grad students; at weddings, corporate events, private parties, art and cultural outings; and marketing efforts for a variety of businesses and organizations.

My experience in videography started at the Walter Cronkite School at ASU, where I earned a master’s degree in 2018. During that time, in addition to coursework, I shot photos with News 21 on a national reporting project (Website not available.

I crewed over 20 shoots, conducted 10 interviews, and earned Producer, Camera, and Audio credits. You can see the results of my capstone project in this episode:

Since 2018 my clients have contracted my solo services for video and photo at conferences, sit-down interviews, corporate marketing assets, artist profiles, reality tv segments, live productions, and other great projects.
I manage equipment including the camera, audio, and lighting equipment, from one-camera to four-camera shoots; from no audio, to multiple wired and wireless mics; from no lighting to full studio lighting; photography and videography as separate shoots, and in a single shoot
At AZ PBS, as student producer I was responsible for multiple stories, at varying stages of development, requiring story idea development, contacting subjects, scheduling interviews, finding available crew for shoots
Storyboarding and scripting have played small parts in most of my recent work, and I’d love to develop those skills!
Video editing using Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, After Effects on a routine basis, for one-camera one-hour shoots for a 1:00 highlight reel, to 10+ hours across several years and states shooting a family documentary with original scoring, to editing a full online virtual theater productions and scripted, multi-angle, multi-take film scenes.
I use Lightroom for all my photography media management and post-production, and Premiere Pro for video footage ingesting, editing, and encoding.
