My Story
A real passion for video production and photography
I have always had a passion for film, ever since I watched my favorite movie trilogy, "Lord of the Rings". I watched those movies when I was only 7 years old, and I become inspired to create my own movies. What I want to do with film is to create entire worlds, cultures, story-driven movies that I could watch and never get tired from watching. I explore a variety of genres when working with film, or creating screenplays, but my favorite genre to work with is Fantasy/Action Adventure. The reason why is because I have the freedom to create my own world with their own cultures and their own stories within it.
​
Throughout my life, I’ve been exposed to a variety of movies and performances, which inspired me to pursue a career in the film industry. My work ethic and love for the visual arts motivates me as a student and pushes me to constantly develop my storytelling voice.
​
Now, I have graduated from Western Colorado University with a bachelor's degree in communication arts with a double emphasis film studies and theatre and performing arts. My experience at Western has helped broaden my skill set in film and in theatre, but also exposure through different professional experience including internships and part time jobs, such as being Lead Director of the Mountaineer Media Film Club and interning for LearningWorks for Kids.

In the next page, I go over in-depth about my professional experience.
Favorite Film Project
"Trust Nobody" 48 Hour Film Festival
I'm extremely proud of this short film because it was very challenging to make and it took a lot of effort to complete. However, it came out really good and it helped us win "Best of Fest" award at the 48 Hour Film Festival in Western Colorado University.
​
Trust Nobody is a slow-motion music video told in reverse. The short film was completed in only 48 hours and features 3 total actors. The location was shot in my F-150 Ford truck and on the back roads in Gunnison, Colorado.

Fundraising Volunteer - Gunnison Food Pantry
The Gunnison Food Pantry held a fundraiser in Crested Butte to help out local families who barely get by with the income they have.

Overall, we raised about $5,000 for the whole event.
