Young Tradition Vermont Touring Group Presentation. This is a composite video using music performed and recorded remotely by the touring group. In the context of covid isolation, the participants in the touring group couldn't hear themselves within the group and the way the video came together is powerful. The connection the group gives to the kids to each other and the past is nothing less than magic. I'm honored to help in anyway also I love to edit video.

It is challenging work, but it is an opportunity to truly make a difference for each person I have the privilege to care for.
