Behind the scenes, from the original portfolio.

I'm a Media Production, Management, and Technology student at the University of Florida with a passion for turning ideas into vivid, story-driven visuals. I have experience capturing a wide range of events and creating content that reflects the energy, personality, and unique atmosphere of each moment.

I'm especially passionate about travel videography, turning trips into digital scrapbooks that preserve the excitement, joy, and memories of every adventure. I love creating short films that are energetic, fun, and full of life.

I approach every project with curiosity, optimism, and a fearless desire to explore new ways of storytelling. No matter the event or idea, I strive to make each video feel alive and memorable. I thrive guiding projects from concept to final edit and finding ways to turn real-life moments into stories that stick with viewers long after the credits roll.

Every project starts with a real moment. My job is to make sure it still feels real once it's cut together.

Creative philosophy

What I do

Six kinds of work.

  • Events

    Live moments caught as they happen: galas, fundraisers, festivals and celebrations.

  • Promos

    Short-form promotional films that give a brand, a product or a place its own voice.

  • Journalism

    Reported video stories and broadcast packages built around real people.

  • Film Work

    Narrative shorts and documentary work, from first treatment through to the final grade.

  • Creative

    Personal projects, experiments and travel films made for the joy of making them.

  • Photo

    Stills from events, portraits, concerts and the moments between.
