As a broadcast professional and multiplatform strategist with a passion for writing, I bring a unique perspective to content creation. Throughout my broadcasting career, which began in 2005, I have honed my skills in video production, system integration, and live event management. I have also managed interns and performed field marketing projects while maintaining a self-driven commitment to ongoing learning and growth. In addition to my technical expertise, I am also an avid reader and enjoy exploring new avenues for personal and professional development. My work in the digital media and web development sector has given me a fresh perspective on the power of content to connect with audiences and create meaningful change. As a multifaceted individual, I take pride in excelling in various pursuits. From international competitions and sports events to writing and volunteering, I always seek new ways to challenge myself and positively impact the world. If you're looking for a collaborator who can help you bring your ideas to life and deliver results on time, I'm here to help. Let's connect and explore how to work together to achieve your goals.

After 30 years of experience in the live event production side of the AV industry, I decided to pursue my CTS certification and pivot to the world of AV engineering.  As the Director of Sales/System Designer for a small AV Integrator, I dove head-first into working with all aspects of the program/design/construction and verification phases of AV projects.  I then accepted the role of Chief AV Engineer at the National Institutes of Health, responsible for the AV and Broadcast systems operations across the entire campus in Bethesda, MD.  I earned my CTS-I credentials from AVIXA in 2022; and in 2023, I moved to the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, DC where I serve as the AV Engineer, working with a tremendous team of AV Techs.  Currently, I am studying and working towards my CTS-D credential. I am a life-long learner and love to take advantage of the training opportunities available through AVIXA, Crestron Training Institute, Harmon Professional, Extron, Biamp, Audinate and Q-Sys.  I hold more than 20 certifications from these industry-leading manufacturers. Creative problem-solving, system design, maintenance and troubleshooting, teamwork and mentoring are each activities that drive my passion for working in the audiovisual industry and keep me smiling at work each day.
