    I have been working with sound for over a decade. When I was a teenager, I started recording my music on my family computer with a $15 mic from Radio Shack. Luckily, I saved my money and bought some decent mics (though some days I wish I still had that thing!). Since then, I studied Audio Production at Emerson College and have worked in studios in Boston and LA. I currently live in MA and work in handful of studios in Boston as well as the South Shore. I have also recorded records in Air BnBs, abandoned theatres, bathrooms and just about anywhere you can imagine. I love working with sound in any form - Podcasts, Film, Composition, Sound Design and more. I am constantly fascinated by what we can do to sound and also, what it can do to us.

    If you're not going to 1) pay me through Upwork (not through a third party site), 2) Respect my opinions, and 3)Communicate the task or tasks you want accomplished clearly and effectively in the job offer itself, don't even bother contacting me. This is a website built on good intentions and the desire to give people a good opportunity and scammy offer after scammy offer, I've learned that many people on this website would try and trick people just looking for a normal job. I'm willing to put the legwork in but only for someone who knows my worth and treats me with respect. Also for the record, I would probably accept a wage as low as $5 (which is to say $6.25 an hour that you'd pay for me to get the actual $5 dollars an hour since that other 1.25 goes to Upwork itself) but only if I could work 40 hours a week, since I'd have to work that many hours to get up to $200 a week, my minimum wage per week that I'd want to be making. Lately, I've been trying to take content writing assessments and stuff because I know my resume doesn't look stellar but I know good grammar and spelling and from what I can tell, learning the rules of good content writing isn't difficult, for example, but it's like nobody even wants to give you the chance unless you have enough experience in the field or enough education that you should probably be doing something different by now, but at any rate, I'm not giving up on the job market yet. I need a job more than I want to get a job that I like.

    Ever since my dad brought home a Sylvania VHS Camcorder back in 1987, I’ve wanted to become a filmmaker. It’s not the JVC GR-C1 that Doc had from Back To The Future, but it enabled me to recreate scenes from the movie using my Legos and a cast iron Transformer I used as the Delorean. Fast forward to 2023, we may not have proper hoverboards, but I’ve grown to become a videographer and editor with 20 years of experience who still plays with Legos. My work is expansive, from music videos and commercials to feature length documentaries and live events. I’ve produced, directed, filmed and edited for a wide range of clients from start up to Fortune 500. My background includes assembling raw footage, selecting usable sequences, tweaking content, and utilizing specialized software to produce exceptional final products. I have worked on my own for large projects, as well as a part of a video editing team; and know I could rise to the challenge of whatever your company needed in this capacity. I am positioned to leverage my technical expertise, a robust work ethic, and effective team collaboration and leadership to make a significant impact on your organization. With proficiency in a broad range of software applications and technical tools, I am confident that my talents and abilities will significantly benefit your project. I know that you would be pleased with my video editing work, if given an opportunity to see some of the work I have done-as included in my portfolio. I feel my abilities with cameras, the craft of editing, and I will stop at nothing to tell a compelling story visually. As Doc Brown once said, you’re gonna see some serious s**t. Please give me a call on my cell phone at (617) 767-8523 to talk more. I thank you so much for your time, and possible consideration of hiring me

    Hi! I'm Sammi, a passionate composer and pianist currently studying Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music, where I’ve consistently ranked top of my class since my very first semester and proudly made the Dean’s List for academic excellence. My specialty lies in emotionally-driven cinematic music, blending traditional orchestration with modern digital techniques to bring visual stories to life. I compose for full orchestras, intimate chamber groups, or solo piano depending on the needs of the scene. Recently, I created an original score for the opening credits of The Crown (inspired by Hans Zimmer’s iconic work). My arrangement, written in D minor at 70 bpm, explores delicate harmonic tension and release—supported by piano, strings, and sustain pedal detail to create depth and emotion. I work with industry-standard software and virtual instruments to ensure broadcast-quality sound, and I tailor every score to the narrative arc, tone, and pacing of the project. Whether you're working on a short film, podcast, documentary, or feature, I’ll help your story resonate. Let’s create something unforgettable together.
