Biography

With an eye for the arts and an interest in films, I actually discovered my passion through a series of trail and error. In elementary school, my parents applauded my effort in painting even though my colorful smudges of a dinosaur could very well represent a table or a smurf. With no ability to create masterpieces, I moved on and thought writing was my higher calling, desiring to be a famous author up until high school when I thought novels were way too tiresome of a project. I joined up into the theatre group and actually chose colleges to help me accomplish my new dream; a world famous actress on Broadway. Seeing how I only managed to be in a tiny number of plays starring as a tree or a stagehand prompted me to look elsewhere within the creative arena. Picking up a video camera for the first time was probably what Beethoven felt looking at his first piece of sheet music. Seeing how every other attempt at becoming famous failed, I decided to make friends with this cold hard piece of equipment and started filming anything that moved. My fascination with behind the camera led to an exhilarating discovery of video editing, where cuts and edits led to works of art. I created this world where my characters said what I wanted, and I grew interested in toying with the audience’s emotions through my works. Glued to editing suites brought me from home videos to getting entrepreneur work with companies, including doing videos for my church. My interest sparked higher when I became a Producer for Channel 12, BBB Communications. I found myself thinking of movie ideas, editing or filming on my spare time. A few internships later landed my current internship at NorthSouth Productions, a post-production company. My flare for media and my heart for creativity led me to the most supreme of masterpieces, and 23 short films and music videos later, I can still point my happiness to one provider: my editing suite.
