WORK HISTORY
2017 - Present | PopFizz Productions | Knoxville, TN
DIRECTOR OF POST-PRODUCTION, SENIOR EDITOR, PRODUCER
WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF BEING HIRED AS THE LEAD EDITOR, I WAS ASKED TO OVERSEE ALL
POST-PRODUCTION OPERATIONS. I TRANSITIONED THE TEAM FROM A DISORGANIZED MEDIA
STRUCTURE TO A COLLABORATIVE SHARED STORAGE SYSTEM, ENHANCING RELIABILITY AND
ACCESSIBILITY. I GREW THE COMPANY’S SERVICE OFFERINGS BY EXPANDING THE TEAM’S SKILL
SETS, AND INCREASED EFFICIENCY BY INTRODUCING AI-AUGMENTED AUTOMATION.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

2011 - 2017 | Beyond Media | Maryville, TN
EDITOR, MEDIA MANAGER, ONLINE EDITOR
I STARTED AS A JUNIOR EDITOR WHEN THIS COMPANY WAS FEELING ITS WAY THROUGH A
TRANSITION FROM TAPE-BASED TO FILE-BASED MEDIA. I RESEARCHED AND ADOPTED THE
LATEST CARD-BASED MEDIA WORKFLOWS AND TRAINED OTHER EDITORS IN NEW
TECHNIQUES AND PROCESSES. WHENEVER WE HAD A TECHNICAL OR CREATIVE VOID, I TOOK
IT UPON MYSELF TO LEARN WHAT WAS NEEDED TO FILL THAT VOID.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
- EDITING SHORT-FORM BRANDED CONTENT FOR DIY NETWORK
- EDITING LONG-FORM BROADCAST PROGRAMS FOR HGTV, DIY NETWORK, TRAVEL CHANNEL,
COOKING CHANNEL, AND FOOD NETWORK
- QUALIFYING COMPUTER PURCHASES AND HANDLING GENERAL IT SUPPORT
