VIDEO EXPERIENCE
Biography Video
Storytelling has always been part of my life, long before I picked up a camera. From my dad documenting our family on a camcorder to hearing stories of resilience and service, I’ve always been drawn to capturing real people and real moments. That curiosity led me to study history, enlist in the U.S. Air Force as a broadcast journalist, and build a career in visual storytelling.
Today, I produce video content that connects audiences to institutions, brands, and communities—especially in higher education and digital media. I specialize in end-to-end production: developing concepts, directing on-camera talent, shooting in the field, and editing pieces for web, social, and live events. I recently completed my M.S. in Communications at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, where I focused on emerging media, audience engagement, and documentary-style storytelling.
