Video & Photo Producer Project Manager

Project management duties for all stages of video, photo and audio production, ensuring jobs are delivered on time and within budget. Given my legal background, I've entertained contract duties, business management, and all things involving production and post production. I have a great eye for detail and sweat the small stuff but never let it show. I’m happiest when both sides of my brain are engaged.
