Producer, EDITOR
As a producer, it's my job to oversee and execute the creative direction of a project. I have produced everything from commercials, social videos, and documentaries. You can watch them and more on my Videos Page!
As an intern with 6abc WPVI-TV's Creative Services, I produced dozens of videos for Action News on Facebook. At the end of my internship, I produced 5 short informational videos about the Total Solar Eclipse that aired on August 21, 2017.
In August 2017, I became a production assistant with 6abc Creative Services. Since then, I have produced more social and commercial videos. I even got the chance to cover the historic Eagles Super Bowl win and the subsequent celebration in Philly!
I assisted the production of a promotion for Penn State's THON 2018, and was the editor of the project! I also partnered with the Philly Ad Club to create four commercials for a fundraiser in partnership with Toyota.
I was the production director at Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM from 2015-2018. It was my job to create a consistent and resonant sound for the branding of our station. This ranged from weekly promotions to the imaging that served as building blocks for our format.
In 2017, I featured students' voices in station branding for the first time in 20 years.
VIDEOGRAPHER
After graduating high school, I worked as a videographer and editor with Dreamcatchers Film and Media Production Group. Together with former student peers, we captured special moments at weddings, parties, and other events.
ENTERTAINER
I have lived my entire life in a musical family. My parents are the owners and musicians in Adonis Orchestra, an 8-piece wedding band that has since found success as a trio singing at restaurants and private parties.
That trio consists of two of the band's veterans, Greg DiTeodoro and my mother, Kim Adonis. Their latest addition? Me! I've contributed my rapping talents to their performances since 2014.
As an extension of this business, I also used to DJ and emcee private parties, banquets, fashion shows, and more.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Photography is unique in that in can capture special moments and also help create them. Whether you are having a special event, selling a home, or getting ready for that big interview, a picture says a thousand words!
The possibilities are endless. Check out this rap battle between Glazed and Jelly Donuts, sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts, that I wrote and produced in under 24 hours in anticipation of National Donut Day at 6abc!
Locally Proud
I am a spirited fan of Philadelphia sports and I see their prosperity as an opportunity to bring people together.
I've been lucky enough to cover the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl LII victory in the heart of Broad Street, capturing the camaraderie that sports can uniquely spark.
I find great purpose in bringing my talents to the service of those around me. I've come to learn what makes my local area so special through my personal experiences and dedication to serving my community. With family on both sides of the bridge, I grew up part-time in South Jersey and part-time in Philly.
I've also helped several workers, parents, and activists in my hometown with photographs and video to assist their efforts in making our township a better place to live in.
COMMUNICATOR
As the tour guide for 6abc WPVI-TV for over a year, I adapted to speaking on behalf of the entire organization and communicating the inner workings of television to budding students and other groups. It is incredibly rewarding to learn about the industry and share my unique youthful perspective with the learning generation of media students.
