After dedicating a year to refining my skills in both photography and social media marketing, I felt the time had come to embrace a fresh challenge: video production. Little did I anticipate that this venture would mark the beginning of a new passion—one that I would come to cherish even more than photography. Through my role at Umass, I've been afforded a significant platform to not only produce and edit captivating content but also to creatively direct pieces for television shows. Moreover, I've had the privilege of working in and eventually taking the reins in directing live broadcasts of diverse sports games at Umass, adding a dynamic and exhilarating dimension to my creative journey.

It all begins with an idea
In my first month working for the Umass Athletics Department, I expressed my interest in creatively pitching and producing segments. And the first one I pitched was a success inspired by the iconic Larry Bird and Michael Jordan McDonalds Ad in the early 90s. I was able to shoot and edit this segment and it aired on the New England Sports Network.
