ABOUT
I'm a 25-year-old filmmaker from Chicago, IL. I recently earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Film & Television with a concentration in directing from DePaul University.
I'm passionate about visual storytelling, especially through cinematography and editing. I bring a creative mindset paired with strong technical skills in video production, photography, and design.
I have hands-on experience in various production roles across a wide range of projects, and I currently work
as a Videographer/ Coordinator on the Marketing team at Abri Credit Union. There, I produce visual content including videos, photos, and designs, combining storytelling with strategic communication.
I'm always looking to grow as a filmmaker and creative professional.
