Summary

I am an eager and diligent worker looking to expand my skills in the film industry. I push to complete any given task as thoroughly as possible. I've taken on a few production roles such as Director of Photography, Executive Producer, and 1st Assistant Director and am looking to take on more roles to be as versatile and helpful as possible. Although, I have taken on other professional backgrounds, I am still in search of the film community that I hope to not only grow with, but thrive with as well.
