Expertise
Video Editing • Video Production
I edit videos for Bird Academy! Our team crafts captivating videos to accompany our course pages. I also edit videos to use for promoting these courses online and on social media. My background is in filmmaking, and I spent many years working in the advertising industry. I also love birds! I feel so grateful to be able to apply my skills to make content that I’m passionate about, and that is educational (I have already learned so much!)
Growing up, I loved making movies with my friends, and this led me to pursue filmmaking in my college career. After graduating from Ithaca College I moved to the New York City area and worked in post-production for TV commercials, music videos, and films. I learned a lot about the advertising industry, and how to edit quality video content. In 2020, I moved back to Ithaca to start my family, and I also reignited my passion for birding! Spending time outside is one of my favorite things to do, and the more time I spend outside the more birds (and bird behavior) I notice. Being able to join the Bird Academy team is such a dream come true! I really enjoy editing videos for these online courses, and am excited for more folks to learn from our very talented instructors!

Spark Moment
Bobolinks nest in my backyard, and their return every spring is my favorite time of year!
