Bio
I am an Audio/Video Producer from Santa Ana, CA. My passion is telling people's stories and highlighting artists and innovators in my community. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a Bachelor's degree in Radio/TV/Film with an emphasis on Video Production. My focus for the last 7 years has been radio and video podcasting, from booking guests and recording the episodes to publishing weekly on Youtube, Apple, Google and Spotify and creating flyers to promote on social media. I have been involved in my own weekly show for 7 years and have produced and recorded for various others including the international online station, Hits101Radio.
