Hello Everyone,

I am excited to connect!

I am technically not a newcomer, I took a hiatus from the platform after being hired onto a long-term project spanning from 2020 to this January, but I'm back at it and eager to reignite my presence and momentum.

I'm based in Queens, NY, and have a wealth of experience as a videographer and editor. My career to this point has encompassed diverse projects, ranging from broadcast news editing and documentaries to crafting engaging social media content and dynamic music videos.

One piece of advice I often get from fellow production professionals is to niche down my serivces and focus on one "genre" of video production (music videos or film, or real estate, or social media, etc).
Initially resistant, I'm now trying embrace the idea and am now working on spotlighting and promoting my specific strengths when selecting gigs.  

For those interested, feel free to explore my reel and Upwork profile:

Looking forward to connecting and collaborating with the community again!
