I cut foley, backgrounds, and sound effects in Pro Tools for an animated Adam Sandler feature film.

Working in ProTools, I cut sound effects for all reels of the Hulu true-crime documentary, The Jewel Thief.

• I worked with the VFX supervisor and coordinator on the show to organize our server and ShotGrid database as we ingested vendor’s submissions. • I attended and took notes in daily Zoom meetings with vendors, following up with QT ref and VFX asset material via Aspera and PIX. • I tracked pulls and managed schedules, reconciling due dates and shot codes between our editorial, VFX, and vendor teams.

• I worked directly with the post-production supervisor, co-producer, and editors to transfer and review incoming footage and VFX shots. • I built editor binders, created contact sheets, calendar events, and spreadsheets to monitor our overall post-production schedule and release of deliverables. • I facilitated communication between our various vendors and on-set production.
