All aspects of the Television industry fascinate me; the people, the ideas, the technology, there is always something exciting going on! Every day is an adventure to me and a new opportunity to have a positive impact on the work environment, the people I work with and the people we serve.
My latest venture is in Aerial Filming you can see my work on aerialviewproduction.com
Both in the Television industry and in Post-production I have worn many hats and taken on several different leading roles, thus I have obtained a wealth of knowledge and a developed a great combination of managerial, supervisory, technical and creative skills in all aspects of Productions, Post- Production, Operations and Distribution.
As a Technical Director with ICI (International Channel / Canal International), I am managing and executing on broadcast production and on-air programming, including directing cameramen, live switching and technical support.
I have a great work ethic, attitude and sense of humor; as well as a strong and proven ability to develop positive client relations.
Project Management - Ability to prioritize and meet deadlines on several simultaneous projects. Resource Management - Ability to manage company resources effectively.
In addition, I am fluent in English, French, Spanish and Italian.
