Hi, I'm Sarina Tapia! I'm currently a third year student in University, studying film and television with an extreme passion for post-production. I've worked on many student films, but over the summer I was able to work as an assistant editor for a CBS project in collaboration with a non-profit organization. That was such a wonderful experience which not only solidified my passion for post-production, but pushed me harder to accomplish my dream of becoming an editor.
