I am a photographer, cinematographer, and founder of Design Lab 44 Productions; a production company offering video and photo solutions for businesses and individuals. I have over 11 years of experience shooting and editing high-quality videos and photos for different purposes and audiences; such as headshots, events, products, promotions, real estate, and more. I enjoy working with different people on various creative projects and providing quality footage. I am also a huge advocate for mental health awareness and wellness, and I have shared my personal experiences and insights on a podcast and through some of my projects. I am passionate about many things, including filmmaking, photography, and collaborating on artistic projects.As for other work experiences, I have over 7 years in special education as either a classroom paraeducator or classroom teacher. I taught at Albert Einstein High School in a self-contained classroom for 2 years (one of them during COVID) and this past school year at Oakland Terrace Elementary School with the SESES (Social Emotional Special Education Services) program as a long-term substitute.I also have lots of experience in social media management, content creation, customer service, and digital marketing. In my last corporate position, I worked as a Digital Marketing Specialist for Ally Behavior Centers, a growing practice that provides ABA therapy for young children with autism. I performed various tasks including developing and implementing effective social media marketing, SEO, and copywriting strategies to increase brand awareness and generate leads. I was in charge of creating engaging social media content for various platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Managing Facebook and Google Ads campaigns in addition to writing blog posts for the website were among my other tasks.
