Summary

I’m a dedicated and versatile film crew member specializing in Grip & Electric, Cinematography, and Camera Department work, with hands-on experience on over 30 short films, music videos, and narrative productions. I’ve held key roles including Gaffer, Key Grip, 1st/2nd Assistant Camera, and Director of Photography, demonstrating strong technical expertise in lighting, power distribution, and camera systems such as the ARRI Alexa, Sony FX series, and Canon DSLRs.

I’m a 2025 Film Production B.A. graduate from Full Sail University, bringing a safety-focused mindset and a team-oriented approach to every production. Whether I’m rigging complex lighting setups, managing focus and media, or crafting compelling visual aesthetics as a DP, I strive to support the director’s vision with precision, artistry, and efficiency.

I’m passionate about storytelling through lighting and composition, and I take pride in being adaptable, reliable, and detail-driven on every set. From narrative shorts to music videos, I’m always ready to collaborate and contribute to projects that push creativity forward.
