Feature Films
Living Among Us
Mope
Project:01
(Foley Editor)
Tasked with editing the foley already put and placed into the film along with covering additional foley that was added in towards the end of Post-Production.
Project:02
(Sound Designer)
Design the sound effects & cutting the backgrounds for each scene of this movie was a huge task in it of itself. However, the final outcome came out miraculously & I was able to get it all come to fruition.

Just Us Here
As I Die
Project | 01
(Sound Editor)
One of my 1st projects I was able to work on from the beginning of my career as an intern on the Full Sail Dubbing-Stage. Throughout the entire audio post-production section of this film I was able to see it come together. My main job was to do the sound editing on this film while also assisting in all aspects of overseeing the audio for this short film as well as with the team that I had on this project.
Project | 02
(Sound Editor)
This was a project I was more than thrilled to be able to be a part of. I was able to design the sound ambiance for the film, cut and place it to fit the scene, along with recording some added Foley.
Project | 03
(Sound Editor
& Re-Recording Mixer)
Tasked with handling the entire Audio-Post Production for this short film. This was no easy task creating the sound design & immersing the audience into this short film was something I was proud of for doing during the time of a pandemic with no other work but something that I put a lot of effort in. From cleaning up the dialogue to cutting & placing the sound effects for this project. As I Die was a project that I was able to showcase a lot of my skills in & am proud of the way it turned out.
A Lion's Heart
Project | 04
(A.D.R.
Recordist)
With 2 of the main stars of this short film also being the producers of the project being able to capture the lines of A.D.R. that they had for this film was something that did require some creativeness in terms of guiding them to achieve the desired results. A Lion's Heart was a bit of a challenge for me as this was something that is out of my usual comfort zone for style of work. However, with some research as well as proper preperations we were able to achieve the goals that were set out to complete on that day & overall the whole session went over in a smooth and concise manner.
Television
Scripted
NCIS:Los Angeles
NCIS:LA
Project | 01
(Sound Editor & Foley Editor)
Most people would not believe when I say that NCIS:LA was my 1st real big opprotunity in the audio-post field. Trained and brought under the wing of the fantastic sound supervisor for the show. I was brought in at the end of season 8 to fulfil the job of cutting the backgrounds and ambienes for each scene of the show with great & vivid detail. As I continued to be apart of the team & learned how to do my job quickly & properly. I was then given the chance to both cue the Foley for the show as well as edit the walked foley before it went to the dubb-stage for final mixing. I had a wonderful time being apart of the team foralmost 4 seasons of the show.
The Scholarship
UnScripted
Life With Lil Tay
Project | 02
(Dialogue Editor, Sound Editor & Re-Recording Mixer)
Working with the stars of their own show The Scholarship, Young Ezee & Natalie Odell were able to give me direction of what they wanted to hear from their series onThe Zeus Network. Along with already having to take care of dialogue as well as the final mix & most of the episodes of the series. I was also put in charge of designing a good bit of the effects that were happening in the show. Really putting in that extra effort to make their show was something I was happy to be apart of.
(Dialogue Editor & Re-Recording Mixer)
Joining a company that was 2 months away from its official launch date was something I was not prepared for with the amount of work I was going into. However, I came in & took things as they came to me. Life With Lil Tay was one of the 1st shows I ever got the pleasure of doing both the dialogue editing for as well as the Final mix before upload to the platform The Zeus Network.
Joseline's Cabaret
JOSELINE
(Dialogue Editor & Re-Recording Mixer)
With season 1 being a hit along with Auditions & season 2 Joseline's Cabaret was an intense show to work on with drama & fights. The Puertorican princess herself made sure that her show was done to the best that it can be. With her fiancee Balistic beats being a producer & have trained ears in audio. Cleaning up & editing the audio for this show along with providing the final mix was no simple task.
Baddies ATL
(Dialogue Editor & Re-Recording Mixer)
A reboot of a classic series that has been around for years, The Zeus Network wanted to revive a loud & dramatized show known for the energy & fun of it all. This was a show that required lots of attention to detail along with balancing everyone's voices & being able to comprehend what everyone was saying. Executive producers Natalie Nunn & Taneisha Thomas definetly made it known that while there are a lot of similarities & references of The Bad Girls Club they definetly wanted Baddies to be a step up from the original show.
