Career History
Unilife - King of Prussia, PA    2014 - Present
Senior Digital Media Associate
Responsible for creation of all media for marketing and internal use, including video and audio recording/editing, creating photorealistic 3d animations and renderings.

I am also responsible for maintaining our website and creating new content. My involvement with the website began when the company we hired to create a page for a new product couldn't figure out how our site worked (it is built with drupal). I was asked to give it a go, even though I had never used drupal. I was able to figure out the site and create the necessary pages and I am now updating older content as needed. I also rebuilt our entire mobile website when I noticed it did not work on Firefox or Explorer.

NBC - New York City    2013 - 2014
Avid Editor
Senior editor for Early Today, a nationally broadcast news program on NBC. Responsible for editing content, preparing packages and sound bites, and animating elements. Work needs to be completed at an extremely fast pace and must be broadcast quality.

I commuted 6 hours a day between Pennsylvania and Manhattan for this amazing opportunity.

D4 Creative Group - Philadelphia    2008 - 2013
Animator / Compositor / Motion Graphics / Avid Editor
Responsible for all video projects in the agency from concept to finished piece. Avid, After Effects and 3d Studio Max used to edit, create motion graphics and animate photo real 3d objects.

During my time at D4 I created a Job tracking system running on their intranet using Perl, MySQL and Apache. The system allowed employees to create jobs and attach important dates to jobs that are all tracked with a live calendar. Users could also upload attachments and have them tagged as part of a job. It was to replace the way they previously tracked jobs which was through a spreadsheet and lots of copying and pasting between various other programs.

AeScripts.com    2009 - Present
I write scripts for After Effects to automate mundane tasks. Scripts I have written include a spellchecker for After Effects and a script that will version templates using data from a spreadsheet. My scripts have been used by HBO, NBC, ESPN and more.

Telenium Productions - Philadelphia    2004 - 2008
Avid Editor / Animator / Motion Graphics / Sound Designer
Responsible for video and audio editing and creating and animating motion graphics in After Effects. I also learned Pro Tools so I could fill in for the staff sound designer when he was out.

I created a database driven password protected upload download website (before dropbox was a thing) which allowed our sales staff to log in and upload files for client approval. This replaced the use of ftp delivery which our clients usually couldn’t figure out.

Fox 25 - Boston   2001-2004
