Describe a Typical Work Day:

A typical day at work for me would start with opening Nuke, opening my shot that I'm currently working on and addressing notes from the previous day. I would usually have anywhere from 1 to 4 shots that I'm working on at the same time. Once I have a new version that I'm happy with, I'll submit to dailies where the supervisors will look at it and give feedback. The cycle continues with receiving notes, addressing them, submitting, and eventually finalizing a shot.

What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of?

The work that I am most proud of is my work on the film First Man. I feel very fortunate to have worked on the film that won the Oscar for Best VFX for 2018, and to have worked with such an incredible team. During my time working on First Man, I came across the most difficult shot of my life at the time, and it felt very rewarding to go from my lowest point to my highest point in my career, on the same film. I am also very proud that one other film that I worked on, Antman & The Wasp, was also an Oscar Nominee for Best VFX for 2018.
