Zoom Moderator

May 2017 - Present
Before Zoom had become the global phenomenon that it is today for virtual communication, One Spirit used it to record live sermons and are broadcast to thousands of students all across the world. As a Zoom moderator, I am skilled in setting up online class rooms and enhance learning environments through digital lessons. Some of my duties include monitoring and recording lessons, making sure each student is heard when they want to speak, and making sure teachers can best communicate effectively to their students while keeping up with the most up to date versions of Zoom.

Webinar & Audio Technician
-
Nov 2013 - May 2017
My first role at One Spirit had me wearing two hats. As a webinar technician, I utilized Adobe Connect to live stream presentations and live events to registered students, while providing an atmosphere where students felt connected to our classroom. General equipment maintenance and upkeep was also a regular part of my responsibilities after sessions. As an audio technician, I would balance audio levels during our live streams and create audio books for students to download post-class.

Every year, Anime Boston hosts one of the largest scale anime conventions in North America with over 50,000 attendees every year. I've been part of the live video production staff for each one to film live concerts and panels featuring local and international industry guests. For each convention, I direct our camera team while calling out shots for the switcher during fast-paced live events. At the end of the day, I digitize and edit footage to be used by our guests' PR teams.

Assistant Video Editor

Mar 2013 - Aug 2013
While working under a lead video editor, I was asked to sync audio and video clips from multi-camera shoots for HGTV's "Cousins Undercover." Using Avid Media Composer, I logged and organized video clips into bin categories for easier editing and assembled rough cut sequences for our head editor to polish up with effects and coloration.
