  Head of Video & Data

  In my position as Director of Video I setup MAAVS events for success. I do so through proper planning and execution of the video elements of events, through proper care and maintenance of our equipment, as well as through the continuing education of our team with respect to the ever-changing event video world. I'm sure this description will change over time but for now... from my limited perspective my addition to the team highlights MAAVS's continued efforts to deliver seamless events with a focus on the client's needs and the quality of the final product.
