Summary

I am a student at Iowa State University studying criminal justice. Outside of learning, I am passionate about filmmaking, screenwriting, and multimedia. I carry with me the desire to gain real-world experience in a progressive environment. I firmly believe working alongside professionals and community leaders will enhance the skills I possess and develop ones that I may lack.
