ABOUT ME.
Hello I'm Karen Barboza! Born and raised in SoCal. I love warm weather, lemonade, fries, and jamming to music. It's hard to say what my favorite movie/show is, but overall I enjoy thrillers.
​
Throughout my education, I gained various editing experience from short films, feature films, and video content. I also broadened my skillset as a DIT, assistant editor, and colorist. No matter the size of the project, my drive comes from the desire to serve and accomplish the vision.
