Experience
My experience includes serving as a Post Production Assistant on a feature film shot in Cleveland, field and post-production work on videos for large Greater Cleveland companies and organizations, and studio work for approximately 250 live news broadcasts.
I have assisted with local film productions. And I also do print graphics design and website maintenance coding.
Additionally, in obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication Technology — with an emphasis in video — from Bowling Green State University, I gained professional experience during three Co-Ops over four semesters.
