  I love this industry! I've written and consulted on: kids shows (live action/animation), game shows, host interstitials, reality series, websites, classroom materials, and more. I'm experienced with in-field single cam, and in-studio single and multi-camera directing. I've held multiple positions throughout the production process, including casting, locations, budgeting, scheduling, and post-production supervision. I'm also thoroughly versed in the 3D animation pipeline.
