In 2021, I launched Helper Labs Creative to provide production and post-production services to filmmakers and corporate media teams. As a freelance specialist, I’ve contributed to projects through on-set production assistance and editing. Known for my collaborative and approachable personality, I strive to foster positive working relationships while bringing precision and creativity to every project, helping teams refine and realize their visions.

I created environments that helped planners and participants focus on the events important to them by supporting event coordinators and hosts with technical needs such as sound amplification, visual displays, event recording, and presentation media. I met with organizers to provide comfort and assurance because the success of each event was as significant to me as it was for them.

My experience and passion for audio engineering shined through and was recognized, which led from a volunteer status to being hired on as staff providing production set up and sound engineering for weekly events. I was fortunate to work closely with a multitude of production specialists, gaining exceptional knowledge and experience.
