Summary
I am a hardworking, creative driven student. In my free time I look for every opportunity to work with cameras and digital media which has directed me to intern as a film coordinator and social media manager for my high school athletic teams. I have two years of experience in the hotel and hospitality industry and intend to continue my work in part-time food service jobs to fund myself in college. I am proficient in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator and have used these softwares to complete passion projects and tasks in social media internships. Additionally, I am interested in studying humanities, classic literature, and new languages either as a minor in college or in my free time.

Filmmaker
I have been interested in making films since quarantine but my love for story-telling has been a constant since childhood. I currently work with a partner to co-direct and write short films for a production company we hope to start at the end of this year or beginning of next year. We plan to post content on both Youtube and Instagram. Over the past couple of years I have branched off into different areas of film such as sports cinematography and video broadcasting however, narrative film is what I am most passionate about.
