A quick life update
Moving on, Moving Forward
After completing my two year tenure as First Assistant and working an additional six months as an Associate Video Producer at Stephen Wilkes Photography, I am excited to be moving on...
It's a bittersweet feeling
During my time with Wilkes, we visited 16 countries across five continents while working on Day to Night. For the past 12 months of these travels, I filmed for a documentary-style, behind-the-scenes series of short films to be released in conjunction with Day to Night, the fine art book to be published by TASCHENin Fall, 2017. In addition, I worked as Production Coordinator during the filming of the unreleased documentary, Jay Myself, which solidified my goal of eventually moving entirely into documentary filmmaking.

With these experiences under my belt, I am eager to begin looking for full-time jobs in the documentary film and video journalism industry. In the meantime, I am available for assignment and I would greatly appreciate any leads that you may be able to pass my way, both full-time and freelance. I will also be available for freelance photo assistant jobs to aid this transition.
This is a nerve-racking and exciting time in my life, so as my last note, I want to say THANK YOU for contributing in one way or another to the amazing first couple of years that my career has been.
