I have been involved in Film and Television Production since the late nineties. At thirteen, I volunteered with Comcast Cable Communications and later interned there at sixteen. In the meantime, I made movies in both video and film formats. Some of my work has received various accolades. I have worked with clients, including Roger Ebert and former NBA player Charles Oakley. To this day, I work on content for RogerEberts Official YouTube Channel digitizing old reviews from Roger's Office and short reviews recorded from ABC 7 News to be uploaded. In my recent years of videography, I have worked as the director of media at the Laugh Factory in Chicago. As the director of media, I led a team of videographers in creating digital content. The job included filming and producing podcasts, sketches, and daily live comedy shows. The live comedy shows, in particular, were fast-paced work environments where we had to navigate multiple cameras and sources of audio around a crowd of four hundred people. The work was challenging but rewarding where, when I departed, we gathered 61K Followers on Instagram and 28K followers on Facebook. It was a lot to juggle with managing other people's schedules and producing up to 15 or more two-hour shows a week, but the rewards in viewership were well worth the effort. Aside from the Laugh Factory, I work for Ravenswood Media alongside Oscar-nominated owner/operator David McGowan. Together we help produce videos for the University of Chicago as well as videos with nature conservationists dedicated to making our planet a safer place to live in.  **Employment and project experience** Videographer/Editor, Ebert Digital September 2016-Current Film Critic, Chicago Indie Critics September 2020-Current Director of Media, Laugh Factory Chicago November 2016-May 2024 Assistant Camera & Editor, Ravenswood Media July 2013-January 2024 Film Instructor, Digital Media Academy July-September 2016 Film Counselor, The Improv Playhouse June 2011-July 2016
