From 2015 to 2018, I attended Suffolk County Community College, where I developed a strong foundation in television and video production. Although I spent just two years as a Suffolk Shark, the program provided me with valuable hands-on experience across a wide range of production roles

During my time at Suffolk, I became proficient in:

Camera operation (including handheld and studio cameras)
Control room roles such as Assistant Director and Technical Director
On-air talent, serving as a news anchor for studio productions
3Play Replay Operator during live basketball broadcasts, a position where I particularly excelled managing in-game replays with precision and timing

In addition to live broadcasting, I worked hard to strengthen my post-production skills. One of my proudest projects from this period was a feature story on standout baseball player Jeff Towle, which I produced, shot, and edited as part of my coursework.

This feature story highlights Jeff Towle, the standout catcher for the Suffolk County Community College baseball team. I shot and edited this piece as part of my coursework in early 2018.

In the video, Jeff opens up about his journey before college, reflects on a historic season, and shares his outlook on the team as they prepared for the playoffs. The project showcases my skills in:

Interview filming and audio capture
B-roll coordination and storytelling
Post-production editing, including graphics and music sync

This was one of my earliest solo projects and an important step in developing my storytelling voice and technical skills as a video producer.

This highlight reel covers one of the most intense games of the 2018 NJCAA Region 15 Men's Basketball Tournament, which went into double overtime. Editing this fast-paced, high-stakes game into a concise, under three minute highlight package was a major challenge but also a turning point in my development as an editor.

The experience sharpened my ability to:

Select key moments under time pressure
Tell a compelling story through pacing, transitions, and music
Work efficiently and effectively under tight deadlines

This project gave me the confidence to handle live-game content quickly and creatively skills that I continue to apply in every production I work on.
