Assistant Editor

Aug 2025 - Present • 11 mos

Working in on-set camera departments has given me a strong understanding of how footage is captured, managed, and prepared for post-production. This background allows me to approach editorial workflows with a practical, production-informed perspective. I build and organize editorial workflows by creating structured project setups, including bins, timelines, and sequences, syncing production audio with camera footage, and ensuring all media is properly organized within the project. Within timelines, I use color-coding by scene to improve clarity and navigation while preparing clean, well-structured project files that support smooth collaboration throughout post-production. Software: Adobe Premiere Pro, ShotPut Pro

Media Manager

Aug 2023 - Present • 2 yrs 11 mos

I began offering media management services in 2023, performing this role both as a dedicated position and alongside my responsibilities as a 2nd Assistant Camera, an Assistant Editor, or Editor . This required strong multitasking, attention to detail, and coordination between the camera and post-production teams. I manage on-set media by securely offloading camera footage using ShotPut Pro with checksum verification. I maintain primary and backup production drives to ensure accurate transfers and verified backups, while organizing file structures that preserve data integrity and support an efficient post-production workflow. Software: ShotPut Pro, o/PARASHOOT

I have been working as a freelance 2nd Assistant Camera since 2021, primarily on productions throughout the Southeast. I've been a part of a range of projects including commercials, independent films, and narrative features, gaining hands-on experience in professional production environments and collaborating with diverse crews. In this role I support commercial shoots and narrative feature films by maintaining camera equipment, managing media, recording camera reports, and coordinating camera department operations. I work closely with production and post-production teams to ensure accurate documentation and organized workflows from acquisition through editorial. Software: ZoeLog
