At twenty years old, I bring six years of diverse experience as a producer, filmmaker, talent agent, event curator, and student, specializing in all facets of content and event production. My role as a visionary creator, editor, storyteller, and business operations manager has honed my ability to bring concepts to fruition. I excel in collaborative settings, partnering with strategic and creative teams to craft high-quality content. My skills span pre-production logistics, comprehensive planning, production, and asset management. Committed to teamwork and eager to meet challenges, I am ready to advance and learn within any dynamic opportunity presented.
