I am a filmmaker, social media analyst, graphic designer and animator in Greensboro, NC, with a Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Media Studies, UNC-Greensboro. I have over 2 years of experience as a cinematographer and editor and am skilled at creative non-fiction and have experience in client work. I have worked on a variety of graphic/film projects involving volunteer work alongside Montagnards. I’m an online communications expert on various programs and youth advocate. I’ve spent most time deciphering, duplication, extraction, from footage, pictures, and documents on all forms. Attributes that I possess that I feel would be beneficial: my ability to be persistent, adaptive, confidence, dedication, analytical, ambitious, goal oriented, interpersonal, self-motivated, excellent communication skills, reliable, honest, hardworking, and capable of functioning effectively both independently and collectively.

As a Montagnard Youth Leader, I explain and demonstrate concepts and ideas, record and upload documents and interview and preserve information, convince, advise, and warn students, young adults, elders and local community volunteers, perform research, create challenging questions and discuss, compare and contrast controversial ideas.

I speak English and am a novice in American Sign Language. Outside of work, I am a full-time chef with a specialty in Vietnamese-Thai cuisine. I have additional interests in automotive repair, dance, language, Asian cultures, media history and hair styling.
