Film Production
I am currently enrolled at Columbia College Chicago studying Film and TV production. I am extremely passionate about the world of cinema and the work that goes into creating it. As I learn more about the field, I hope to end up working in the film industry as a mixed media artist, cinematographer, or editor. One of my pass times include writing and directing my own short films as I work toward creating a name for myself.
Music
Just as film production is one of my interests, music has always been a huge part of my life. From a young age I have taken vocal lessons, played various instruments and gained a deep appreciation for art. It is my hope to continue working on creating music and potentially integrate the content into film.
