About

With a strong foundation in web design and interactive media from Humber College, I have developed a versatile skill set in digital content creation and multimedia production. My career began as a Video Producer at Event Services Group Itzsoweezee, where I honed my skills in producing and directing promotional videos. At IGNITE, I led teams to create engaging video content, boosting social engagement by 30%. As a Content Creator/Digital Designer at Foldable Fake Wayfarer Media, I expanded my expertise in web and social media content. Currently, as a Media Production Specialist at OBSI, I plan and produce multimedia content, driving audience engagement and maintaining brand integrity. My experience is complemented by a certificate in Accessible Design in Digital Media, ensuring my work is inclusive and accessible. I am passionate about leveraging digital media to tell compelling stories and enhance user experiences.
