I've been working in Post Production in Los Angeles for over 10 years and have a passion for
making a project look and sound perfect.  At my previous job as Senior Editor/Post Supervisor, I
was used to multitasking between editing, designing graphics, mixing audio and managing
freelancers while producing the projects I assigned them.  Teamwork and collaboration was
essential for the large-scale DVD games that we worked on for such companies as Dreamworks,
Mattel, Warner Bros. and Disney.  I have edited TV spots, DVD trailers, documentaries, a short
film, promos, interviews and featurettes for DVD.
