    Over the past twenty years I have gained in-depth experience in video and animation production. The preponderance of my experience has been in the marketing and entertainment environments. You will find my ability to quickly adapt to any situation or project an asset to your organization. My responsibilities have included the development and execution of marketing videos which entailed shooting on DSLR, lighting, sound set up and editing in Premiere with motion graphics in After Effects. I have also been responsible for the development of product demonstrations and simulations. I have always been a self-starter, learn quickly and am self-taught in the software that I use. My hunger to seek new solutions as technologies advance has helped me to continually evolve in the motion graphics field. Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with all departments at an organization. I have the ability to work within a team or independently according to what the situation demands. I successfully work well with others to reach desired results.
