Why I Choose to Work at Academic Innovation

I have a deep passion for exploring the boundaries of visual storytelling through cinematography, editing, animation, and experimentation. Additionally, I’m commitment to supporting and expanding the academic community – all of which have lead me to Academic Innovation. The creative and academic possibilities presented here are an exciting and inspiring challenge!
