I’m a video/photo/audio editor, and an actor, specializing in post-production and performance, with hands-on experience in film and media. Since 2019, I’ve trained in editing, acting, filmmaking, and music production, building strengths in both technical production and performance. I hold a B.A. in Media Studies with a Minor in Music from the University at Buffalo, and I’m passionate about transforming live and recorded media into engaging multimedia experiences.

Through my studies, I’ve developed strong skills in editing photos, videos, and audio, primarily using the Adobe Creative Cloud and Avid Pro Tools. Since starting at UB in 2020, I’ve explored every corner of media production, from audio recording and camera work to acting in films. In 2024, I became an active member of UB’s Media Study Club, where I collaborated on projects and led workshops to share insights with peers. That same year, I was elected Secretary and helped the club officially gain recognition from UB’s Student Association. I also took part in student films, expanding my acting experience while learning new techniques from fellow filmmakers.

Adobe Creative Cloud: Strong proficiency in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Video editing skills include trimming, splicing, color correction, chroma keying, and VR (360°) editing, along with creating graphics, animations, and layered visual effects. Photo work covers masking, cropping, sharpening, and color/contrast adjustments. Audio skills include editing, leveling, and applying effects.

Using these tools, I have done freelance work, edited YouTube content at MBA Waves, and at UB I created visual media projects.

Skilled in mixing and editing audio, managing plug-ins and effects, and maintaining organized playlists. Knowledgeable in electronic music production, with experience in audio clip management, VST plugin effects/generators, and MIDI instruments/controls.

In practice, I managed live sound for theater productions at Aurora Players, mixed and edited audio for NPR’s “Sin Fronteras,” and created sound and music projects at UB.

Acting: Strong foundation in acting, skilled in character development, improvisation, and on-camera performance, with a solid understanding of stage presence and scene interpretation. Experience collaborating with directors, peers, and production teams.
