    • Production Assistant
      • Oct 2022 - Present

      Working as a Freelance Camera Operator for Canisius Athletics. I am mainly the “Tight Follow” camera meant for close up shots and shots used for replay. Also, would help strike at the end of games when needed too. I have covered every sport at Canisius such as Basketball, Baseball and Softball, Lacrosse, and Soccer but most notably the 2023 MAAC Softball Championships and the 2023 Atlantic Hockey Championships. There’s a great academic program here learning this industry and whenever they have students running cameras while I’m there I’ll try to help them out as best I can! Show less
