In this episode, I want to talk about producing moments and that sounds a little bit strange, but let's elaborate on that. Moments are the experiences that you carry with you throughout life that are memorable. They have an impact on your worldview. and they are much more than just a memory. They define what you pursue.

With clients ranging from the BBC to National Geographic, Disneyland, and more, she is a powerhouse when it comes to using video to capture moments and memorable experiences for us lovely viewers to watch.
