RESUME

Anchor 1
Professional ​
info​​

Video production and editing is my passion! My experience has spans multiple genres and platforms from sports and news, to TV and film. I consider myself to be naturally creative and artistic, but with an equally analytical mind and an eye for detail. Over the last five years, I’ve gained a tremendous amount of experience and I’ve had the opportunity to work in both live and pre-recorded environments for ESPN, Discovery Communications and more. 

Sample projects: 
Oversaw the phases of video post-production for the various projects, including: The Legend of Longwood, Gespensterjäger (Ghost Hunters), The Canal, 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy, Blood Fruit, Roy, and Damo&Ivor.

At this time, I am open to networking and career opportunities in video production and editing. I can be reached via LinkedIn or at faughnanrachel@gmail.com.
