When I’m not editing, you can find me on set.

Here are a few projects I helped bring to life.

It’s Fine

Food52

Grip / Production Assistant


On set for a food lifestyle shoot with influencer Tess Madalyn Gigone (@tessmadalyn), I set up lighting and grip equipment while maintaining strict safety standards. I took the initiative to tape down cables, create clear walkways, and ensure the environment was safe and unobtrusive for talent and clients. Together we created a fun, high-energy atmosphere.

During a dynamic outdoor shoot for a pickleball racket brand, I supported the DP amidst fast-paced, chaotic action. I guided crew safely through the on-set action and used grip equipment to set up shaded rest areas for talent to take shelter from the heat. My attention to detail and proactive problem-solving helped the shoot run smoothly.
