Leadership

Director of Video Production

University of Maryland, Office of Marketing & Communications | 2023–present

For the past three years, I’ve led the university’s video department, creating content for university-wide communications, presidential initiatives and major campus events. I partner with senior leadership on creative direction for research documentaries, institutional announcements and campaigns, and oversee production workflows, scheduling, budgets and freelancers. Under my direction, the team raised the quality of its work while meeting growing demand, earning a Mid-Atlantic Emmy and multiple CASE awards.
