I’ve had a passion for making films and telling stories ever since I first got my hands on a camera and Windows Movie Maker. When I graduated from Asbury University with a degree in Media Communication, I went on to explore the industry to find my niche. After working on various film and television sets, I found myself drawn more and more to the process that happens after production has wrapped. There’s something incredibly exciting about being in the final stages of a project and seeing the original vision come to life.
I’ve worked on a variety of video over the years (commercials, social media videos, motion graphics, short documentaries, etc.) with clients ranging from local non-profits to global companies. Every project is different, and there is no cookie-cutter method to getting the final result. However, I approach each project with the same overall mindset: what is the best, most comprehensive, and most interesting way to tell this story?
I love what I do and I love working with people who have a passion for sharing whatever story they’re trying to tell. Let’s work together!
