Selected Works
Production Tools
Shotgrid Email Tool
This tool uses the Shotgrid Python API to create a field in Shotgun that artists can use to specify attributes that are put into an automatically generated email. Designed for recurring emails that require artists to provide details on recent shots.
PartyTime Render Management
PartyTime helps machines join BackBurner Server Groups when no one is logged into the machine which takes advantage of idle hardware resources and reduces render times by 50%.

Short Films
When the second half of my class’s senior year was cut short by COVID, I worked with the school staff to produce a short film dedicated to my classmates.
Shot this 360° video with a Ricoh Theta camera and edited in Premiere Pro. Used motion graphics to add to the virtual tour experience. This tour was used in St Francis’ admissions outreach in place of typical in-person campus tours.
Collaborated with students from NYU Tisch on this short film for the NYU Production Lab’s Zoom Fest event. Filming in Zoom was a unique challenge but working with bright screenwriters and actors made it a rewarding experience.
Directed and edited this spoof of Inside Out starring my high school’s teachers. Added some VFX to enhance the humor and make it recognizable as a parody of Inside Out.
Promotional Videos
This video was emailed out with letters of acceptance to the 8th graders who were admitted to the St. Francis class of 2022. The way that the music in this video shifts from loud and energetic to calm and quiet and then back to loud allowed me to divide the video into three parts—school spirit, academics, and then more school spirit.
Created to be sent out with acceptance emails for the St. Francis class of 2023. I drew from the many events that we filmed over the course of the year and edited them together to create a fast-paced and engaging video.
Created to be sent out with acceptance emails for the St. Francis class of 2024. Used After Effects to create a custom introductory motion graphic. Used footage from the past three years to create a video that would show recently admitted students all of the awesome things that St. Francis has to offer.
