Comedian. Video creator.
Eight years of editing, animation, and visual effects across educational media, Fortune 500 campaigns, children's programming, social video, and live sports. I write for retention, structuring video so people actually finish it.

Professionally, I create social video for Elastic through Liaison Creative + Marketing.
