Education

American Academy of Dramatic Arts
Los Angeles, CA

Associate in Arts

University Overview

I graduated from the Academy and went straight to getting an agent and manager so I could continue to pursue acting after college. Few years after that, I realized that acting really was not my passion anymore. I decided to slip behind camera to find myself feeling less pressure with more space to have fun. As for today, I have a SONY A7iii and I use Premiere Pro to edit all of my videos. I use a Crane Stabilizer when I am on set capturing footage. I have 4+ years of experience with filming and Premiere Pro. As for Photography I use the same camera(A7iii) and use Lightroom for editing. I have 3+ years of experience with photography. I’m very easy to contact and great at communication. A good listener when it comes to notes and adjusting videos or photos to a clients liking. My #1 goal in any gig or project I take on is to make my clients feel comfortable... when I’m working with them I want my client to understand that it will most likely feel awkward at first and that is normal. To eventually overcome that awkwardness and to come out of their shell to make some magic.
