Professional Skills
Being a cofounder of Interactive Media Group and video specialist at Waubonsee Community College has given me the opportunity to become proficient in remote field production and studio production techniques. It has also provided me with project management skills to handle complex projects involving technical and creative components. I have learned to create and maintain successful production schedules that meet deadlines and budges. Furthermore, I have acquired the working experience in video editing, color correction, color grading, technical directing, lighting, camera operating, camera stabilizer mounts, green screen, motion tracking, compositing, motion graphics, graphic design, photography, photo editing and retouching, 3D modeling, texturing, skinning, and rigging.
