I assisted in pre-production and production for this show. I planned, purchased and packed meal kits, medical supplies, and equipment for the 10-person crew to use on weeks-long shoots in rogue nations around the world. I also did research on the countries, like finding what vaccines were needed, tracking down information for crew visas, arranging international passports, setting up satellite phones for emergency communications.

As a production assistant, I helped out on set by slating before every take, getting food for actors and crew, getting on-set photos, returning equipment to rental houses throughout New York City, driving crew between locations. When not on set, I was in the office working with producers throughout all the stages of production. I transcribed police interviews with suspected murderers for story producers. I tracked down costumes for extras. I organized and copied countless receipts, releases and forms for the production coordinator. I sat in on production meetings and took notes for the production manager. During casting, I watched videos and took notes for the associate producer to look over. In post production, I helped editors by writing script breakdowns for 8 episodes, each an hour long. (For them, a script breakdown was a script, with added descriptions of every cut, sound effects, photos and visual included in the episode.)

I worked with Newsy reporter Casey Mendoza to document a Trump rally for Newsy in 2018. We spent all day at the event, interviewing attendees and politicians. I filmed everything and they continue to use that footage today.
