Operations-minded. Editorially fluent. Built for high-volume creative environments.The technical fluency to catch problems early and the editorial context to understand why they matter.

 

Consultant - Post Production Operations - Media Asset Manager

What I do 

  • Technical Assistant Editor, fix issues with large Avid / Premiere projects that have older mixed projects with heavy archival and codec issues.

  • Consult with feedback notes on edits.

  • Media asset management  which includes:

    • Figuring out the best storage and back up system 

    • Manage digital media assets across shared server environments, DAM systems, and cloud-based platforms or multiple harddrives. Maintaining organization, file integrity, and delivery accuracy across concurrent projects.

 

I've built and maintained archival databases for large-scale documentary productions and coordinated ingest-to-delivery workflows for episodic and marketing content across major streamers.

 

Quality control and technical validation

I perform picture and audio QC against technical specifications, metadata standards, and naming conventions.

 

I identify missing assets, flag technical issues proactively, and keep stakeholders informed on asset status and delivery readiness. I'm fluent in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid — and comfortable validating project collections, graphics packages, and layered creative assets across all of them.

 

Workflow coordination and vendor liaison

I coordinate between editors, designers, color facilities, audio partners, finishing houses, and external vendors. I've served as the connective tissue between creative teams and technical operations, translating between what editors need and what IT and infrastructure can support.

 

Workflow optimization and AI tools

I document workflows and share with teams, identify inefficiencies, and implement improvements, tinker with all the new AI tools.

 

I teach post-production technology at Loyola Marymount University, including hands-on curriculum on AI tools, agentic workflows, and emerging media management technologies. Many presentations and one on one's teaching new technology.
