Summary
I am a recent graduate out of The College of Saint Rose, looking to put my film and/or filmmaking knowledge to use in the workforce. I am currently a hardworking auto detailer and driver, focused on giving attention to every car and customer. I also drove for DoorDash, and made a short film about my car, so it is definitely a passion of mine, although I would be more than happy to make any type of content!
