About
After studying video production at an early age at a vocational program in high school I went on to obtain a BFA in film production from Syracuse University and specializing in 35mm while studying abroad at FAMU International in Prague CZ. After college I went on to work in the corporate environment as an associate editor at the college of online and digital learning; seeing Masterclass style educational material through all levels of the development and production. After finding a specialization in lighting, I left the office to work full time on feature film productions.
During my time in Lighting Department I joined IATSE 52 in NY which included a rigorous certification process. In 2022 I moved to Atlanta for work on bigger productions including Marvel, Amazon, DC and more. In between larger productions I have also done smaller freelance work including producing a feature film, and several commercials.
Outside of film a TV I have done volunteer work in the political space, have a passion for team building and organizational work.
