• Adapt content for appropriate platforms and formats, including websites, email, social media, YouTube, Vimeo, presentations, and digital advertising.
• Maintain organized, searchable libraries of footage, still photography, drone content, project files, templates, and final assets.

• Deliver high-quality content under compressed timelines, including timely event coverage and post-event deliverables.
• Stay current on video-production methods, drone technology, editing techniques, motion graphics, and visual-marketing trends.
• Travel throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area using a personal vehicle and work occasional evenings and weekends to support productions and events.
