I first connected with this family through Elance in 2013 and have been editing their home videos periodically ever since. It’s typically a simple job of culling tons of footage into what I believe to be the best memories. What I truly enjoy is watching the kids grow up by […]

Video Project: Tree of Heaven
Matthew and I have joked about creating a hosted educational nature documentary style video series for years, but you know how life goes… we never got around do it. Our original idea for beginning the video series was a profile of Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven), which he studied for […]
Audio Story: Kudzu and other Invasives in Thurmond, WV
One of the main reasons I chose Invasive Plants as my topic for WSU’s Introductory course: Multimedia Content Creation, is the Eco-Voluntourism trip we had scheduled in early June. Matthew and I agreed that would be an excellent venue for an audio story to explain why invasive plant removal was […]

Video Editing: Spiritual Fitness
Jeffrey and I connected through Upwork, and I edited the majority of the video lessons in his Spiritual Fitness class. What a wonderful experience! I do truly pay attention to content while editing, and I would often find myself following his exercises and completely losing my editor’s train of thought! […]
