I’m a versatile media professional, driven by my passion for the magnetic power of storytelling. My professional journey began as a Camera Operator and Video Editor for local highschool sports events, and developed when I started hosting a radio show for the WLTL station.

I graduated high school and attended the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where I studied business, but a growing interest in media led me to pivot back to what I love to do and transfer to DePaul University on an academic scholarship. There, I pursued a BFA in Media with a focus on Film Production and Visual Effects, complemented by a minor in Animation.

Throughout my academic career, I’ve gained hands-on experience in various roles. As a Media Production Intern with Arthrex in Florida, I honed my production skills, while my freelance role as Assistant Editor with Behind the Work allowed me to work on end-to-end video projects, managing everything from concept development to final edits. Additionally, internships in agricultural research projects across California and Michigan early in my academic journey sharpened my problem-solving and project management abilities, as I collaborated on teams to redefine produce exportation standards.

With my diverse background in media production, post-production, and cross-industry collaboration, I’m eager to bring my skills and passion to my future employer.
