My deep interest in the television and entertainment industry has been a lifelong passion, driven by a fascination with the creative process behind film production. Although my formal education has centered around Graphic Design, my dedication to film editing has remained a consistent focus throughout my career. I have contributed my skills as a volunteer video editor for various projects and events like the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival.
Recognizing the importance of expanding my skill set, I have recently returned to school to pursue a certification in Post-Production at UCLA. Through this program, I am refining my technical expertise in industry-standard software, including Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects.
Below are examples of recent projects I’ve completed during my studies, along with personal projects that reflect my commitment to film editing.
"Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether you friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Everything After that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee."

Editing with AVID Media Composer – Worked with sample footage to apply a range of editing techniques, including trimming, fine-tuning edits, adjusting audio levels, synchronizing multi-camera footage, and adding transitions and titles. This involved importing and linking media, organizing all files within a structured filing system for efficient project management, and ensuring smooth media workflows. Additional skills included color correction, basic visual effects integration, and media management. The project was finalized by exporting in multiple formats, tailored for various platforms.

This was a school editing project. I feel it best shows off my ability to edit clips, audio, & text graphics together to create the final sequence.
Just For Fun Projects
Here are just a few videos that I created just for the fun of making a "Movie" and showing off my editing skills.
What makes these two shorts fun if the fact my friends and family volunteered to star in them. They are always willing to go along with whatever crazy stories pops into my imagination.
Spirit Clown Short Film
This one has to be my all time favorite videos i've made. The story came in the spur of the moment and we even got my grandfather to partake in it.. It stars my oldest sister, our friend, and my grandfather. Even though there are obvious errors throughout the video, it's still an entertaining watch.
Lost in the Woods Short Film
This story stars my youngest sister and my two younger cousins. Everyone took part in creating the story. I create these short films as a practice tool for my editing.
