I graduated from Full Sail University's Film Bachelor program in the summer of 2016, but my love for filmmaking, performance, and video production began long before that in my hometown of Chicopee, Massachusetts.

I grew up alongside digital media, watching as computers took over the production process, and social media became a staple in everyone's lives. Youtube was truly my first film school, and the techniques in self-education I gained back then stick with me to this day. I spent my early years taking every theater and video class I could get into. I was the president of my drama club, active in many local stage productions, and even sang at Boston Symphony Hall, but my real passion has always been filmmaking. By the time I started college, I had already completed two digital video courses, a photography class, two studio production classes, and an internship at my city's local telecom department.

In the time since college, my focus on film brought me from Florida to Atlanta, where I worked at The Weather Group's streaming service Local Now as an Associate Producer and Motion Graphics Artist. I've given talks at the Atlanta Film Society as a Post Production Assistant, have worked on independent film projects, competed in festivals, worked on music videos, and have now moved to Los Angeles in the pursuit of a career making movies.

Movies have the unique power to deliver messages at a scale unseen before in our history. The combination of sight and sound, bringing our stories to life in a frame by frame, pixel perfect way, is a power that I don't wield lightly. I want to make the world a better place, where we see each other's perspectives, and feel the weight of each other's stories. Through drama, hardship, laughter, and tears, I believe movies can change the world.

 Shout out to Jay Buckley, who when I was sixteen offered to teach me Avid in return for me offering my After Effects skills. The same praise extends to Natalia Borowiec and Denise Freisberg, whose music and theater classes helped shape who I am today.
