About Me
About Me
Hi, I’m Daschall! I’m an award-winning multimedia producer, shooter-editor, and storyteller from Norwalk, Connecticut.
My background spans lifestyle broadcast at NBC Connecticut (CT LIVE!), live NCAA multi-camera sports streaming with SCSU Athletics, and published reporting at Connecticut Public. My international environmental reporting in Bahia, Brazil (Project Brazil), earned a NATAS Student Emmy and a Bronze Telly Award.
From running cinema rigs and wireless field audio to fast-turn editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, I build clean work for broadcast, digital, and social.
I am targeting Producer, Multimedia Journalist, and Editor roles across music, entertainment, sports, digital video, news, culture, broadcast TV, and creative production. Open to full-time and hybrid opportunities in New York City, Connecticut, and remote.
