A Bit About Me
I am a Graduate of Florida State College of Motion Picture Arts. I have experienced the entire production process from pre-production to post-production. My education instilled a passion for storytelling through the medium of visual art and filmmaking.
Before beginning my film career, I spent several years working as a social media manager promoting different products and increasing sales and viewership for multiple high-profile companies.
My previous experiences and my passion for film have contributed to my skills in videography, cinematography, and screenwriting. As an aspiring Filmmaker, I have a strong background in bringing compelling dramas and documentaries to life by using a variety of visual storytelling methods.

Education Experience
Practical Experience: At FSU Film School, I gained hands-on experience working with industry-standard equipment throughout the entire film production process. I worked with cinema cameras, like Red Helium. I have also worked with industry-standard equipment such as Dana Dolley, Arri Lights, and Aputure Lights. In the post-production realm, I developed a mastery of the AVID Media Composer for editing. For sound design, I perfected the sound of my various film projects utilizing Avid Pro Tools.
Film Projects: I have had the opportunity to direct three films, edit three films, serve as the director of photography for three films, and produced three films. The films I worked on have been accepted at prestigious film festivals around the world.
