Pursuing my passion for storytelling I strive to impact communities surrounding me through impactful visual journalism and content creation. Eager to work hard and develop lasting relationships, I am a self-starter who is enthusiastic about communicating the stories of others.
With over 6 years of experience in the field of visual media and journalism I have a dynamic skillset that includes: photo and video production and editing, social media management, news writing, FAA Part 107 licensed drone work, teaching, podcast production, contest management and graphic design.
