Description:
I am a BFA graduate in Media Arts from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Although my
predominant skill set pertains to media, the extent of my knowledge and experience in other
mediums such as, painting, sculpture, design, sound design, music composition, and printmaking
make me a well rounded artist and workforce professional. My experience includes
commercial work for companies such as Exxon and Shell, marketing videos for bands, political
figures and music/film festivals, as well as artistic ventures in short films, music videos and
instillation art. As I have continued my journey into learning and mastering different aspects of my
field, excelling in both visual media and sound, I have also learned a thing or two about timeliness,
attitude, punctuality, and patience. I am a perfectionist and therefore am unable to label
anything complete unless it has fulfilled it’s aesthetic, conceptual, and/or functional requirements.
As a working editor and videographer, proper work ethic has become an inextinguishable habit
and a driving force that compells each project to be completed with the utmost finesse.
