A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’ve been in the audio/video industry for 7+ years as a writer, director, and producer. I have produced long-form audio projects, crowdfunding videos, short-form docuseries, and music projects. My portfolio includes video editing, talent management, localization, audio engineering, and client management. In addition, I’ve provided words for marketing videos, thought-leadership articles, web content, and audio description voiceover scripts.

AUDIO PRODUCER - AUDIO DESCRIPTIONS
Sunnyvale, CA // April 2024 -
I lead the Audio Descriptions team for Marcom at Apple. We develop audio description voiceover tracks that describe the visual components of videos for audiences who are blind and low-vision. As the Producer, my goal is always excellent work by the most efficient means. I collaborate with writers, directors, voice talent, and audio engineers. I ingest creative briefs and distill them for script writers, oversee the audio production process, provide edits to the mix in Pro Tools, and lend the final ear for all projects before delivery. I’m a fierce believer in curiosity and collaboration and see one of my primary roles as an encourager of my team, allowing everyone to follow their passions and do the best work possible.

HEAD WRITER // DIRECTOR
Sunnyvale, CA // October 2021 - April 2024
As Head Writer for the Marcom Audio Descriptions team, I took the lead on scripting projects, ranging from two-hour product launch keynotes, to long-form narrative stories, to how-to videos. I rigorously adhered to the company-wide style guide, while helping to develop the Video Accessibility Style Guide, a new standard for all things video accessibility. I trained multiple teams of writers and provided copyedits for software release notes. I directed voice talent and collaborated closely with audio engineers.

GLASS & MARKER
CREATIVE ACCOUNT MANAGER
Oakland, CA // January 2019 - July 2019
Glass & Marker is a video production company based in Oakland, CA, specializing in Roadshow videos for company IPOs and commercial videos. As an account manager, I was challenged daily with creative problem-solving, pitching, and ideation. I worked closely with pre- and post-producers, video editors, clients, and other project stakeholders. My proactive mindset allowed me to step into roles and develop skills outside of the traditional account manager position: I wrote and edited scripts, I developed storyboards for pitches, I helped supervise the post team, and I even recorded scratch VO.
