Early next week I will be flying into Indiana to shoot track and field for SFU Athletics. Currently I am producing a promotional video for a non profit organization with my job at SFU Media Design.
Formally educated at a film / journalism: My video journalism skills have developed over the past 10 years from my time at SFU completing a film degree then working as a videographer for the university. Then last year I formally began the full time broadcast journalism program at BCIT where my focus has been on learning video journalism techniques.
