Hobbies/Interests
Learning Japanese
Currently working at N7 basic language level - able to hold conversations, read/write with Japanese characters (Hirgana/Katakana/Kanji), comprehensive grammar, and good listening skills. Started weekly online lessons since the beginning of the pandemic, and have been improving ever since! I've had three trips to Japan (~1 month each) over the past several years, and plan to return for more trips soon!
Video Production
Having travelled extensively across Japan and New Zealand, I have enjoyed filming to document my travels. I have since edited these into a number of high quality travel videos, using Hitfilm Express and other video editing software. My video editing has drastically improved over time, and being entirely self taught it is very rewarding to have others enjoy my videos as well! I have also been able to use this skill in a professional setting a number of times, producing high quality training and presentational videos for the companies I work for, avoiding the need to hire expensive freelancers.
References
Able to provide excellent references from any area of employment and education upon request.
