Summary

What started as a passion for film has become my career path. I started playing around with my camera while using Adobe Suite and fell in love with being able to make my own videos creatively. That passion for film has now expanded to videography, creative writing, photography, and design. Growing up, I was always told how much I like to tell stories and I believe what most creative endeavors come down to effective storytelling. Whether you are trying to advertise your business or telling a tall tale about that huge fish you caught, storytelling is at the forefront of how well these are received. I plan to make this my professional specialty. I can't wait to further hone and learn new skills in media production!
