Producer

Gettin' To The Point

During COVID, with extra time to pursue personal projects, I’ve had the opportunity to work as co-producer with 2020 NBA first-round draft pick Cole Anthony on an unscripted series, Gettin’ To The Point. Our show features athletes and sports personalities receiving acupuncture while discussing their recovery process and how they’ve used emerging social platforms like Tik Tok, Twitch and Instagram to build themselves a loyal fanbase. The first two guests of the show were Cole Anthony and Overtime Megan, and basketball trainer Chris Brickley has committed to be on for Episode 3.

Documentary, ESPN's Chris Kelley

Chris Kelley, who is all but impossible to find on the internet, has worked as the voiceover for ESPN for over 18 years. After receiving Kelley's email from ESPN's PR department, I sat down with him in his home in Connecticut, that also serves as his studio, to hear about his path to becoming ESPN's most heard, but least known voice.

Chez La

For a workshop at the Newhouse School, I was asked to make a documentary in 24 hours. I decided to tell a story about my fraternity Chef Michael Lavelle. The film, which had a maximum length of 1 minute and 45 seconds, highlights how Greek Life saved him from a long lasting depression.

Video Production/Marketing Intern

Rockwell 605 Third Avenue

Working with the Architecture firm Rockwell Group, I created a short video highlighting the features of their window design placed at 605 Third Avenue in New York City. "Rockwell Group conceived a lobby concept that draws inspiration from the shifting, meditative colors of kaleidoscopes. The design straddles the line between corporate restraint and contemporary culture to create a playful, bold identity for 605 Third Avenue in Manhattan." - Rockwell Group
