About me
Hello!
I’m a Journalism and Media Production student from Rochester NY, with a heavy passion for story telling, documentaries, and animation. I am skilled in Audacity, which I use to edit and record Precisely Puzzled, my podcast, as well as create sound effects and voice overs for plays.
I’m learning DaVinci Resolve, which I’ve used to edit both a promotion as well as a instructional video on how to bake a fruitcake. This gives me experience in editing, as well as audio balancing and color correction in video. I also have experience writing and story-boarding scripts for these videos.
I have experience using cameras, including how to frame a shot, how to set white balance and exposure, and how to ensure a focused and clear image. I’ve used a wide variety of cameras, including DSLR, Mirrorless, Camcorders, and Broadcast cameras.
I'm also learning Adobe programs, including Animate, After Effects, and Photoshop. With time, I am hoping to become proficient in Adobe as well.
I have experience in Theater, mainly with lighting and sound design. Recently, I had the opportunity to design the sound and lights for The Institute of Aquinas here in Rochester. Together, we put on The Diary of Anne Frank fall of 2024, which gave me valuable experience working with directors and a crew in a professional setting.
I’ve spent the past six summers working for Massawepie Scout Camps, giving me valuable experience in time and people management. Masssawepie is a Scout BSA camp in the Adirondacks. I’ve had numerous jobs up there, including as a camp counselor, CIT Director, and Health Director. The most impactful position I held at camp is Senior Commissioner. The Senior Commissioner is responsible for leading his staff in customer service and maintenance throughout camp. This gave me a stronger appreciation for time management and a good work ethic, as well as people skills.
