Hi! I'm Amy!
My love of video production started when I was in high school, where I won a 
TV ACE Award 
for my production of our magazine show. I then followed my dream of attending Penn State University. 
WE ARE! where I worked on many Penn State Video Productions through WPSX-TV, PBS station out of State College, PA. I worked on the PBS' Legendary Lighthouse Series. I graduated with a degree in Broadcast Television Production.
I have over 25 years' experience in marketing, video, and television production. I live in the Philadelphia area, but that does not limit my ability to help you!
I teach business coaches from all over the United States how to record their video content from their "Office Studio" and use those videos to market their services online to grow their brand and vision.

Donna came looking for some help with her weekly LIVE videos.
She needed a microphone and a lighting recommendation, and now she has an awesome set-up.
She records her Live videos every week and sounds awesome, her lighting is on point, and she gets complimented on her picture quality!
She is so comfortable on video now, she can focus on her clients, and not worry about her tech quality!

Sharon was having a slow start to figuring out how to create her videos for her business, Cooking with Kids. She had the equipment, she was even doing LIVE videos, but she wanted to create professional videos she could share with her audience and eventually create an online course.
She needed more informative and educational videos than what she was doing in her live videos. However, the hardest thing for her to do was coming up with what she was going to say. I gave her the tools she needed to write a script. She took my ideas, wrote out a script, and then she was much more confident that she could record her videos. And now she is able to take what I taught her and use it in her newest business to start creating videos.
