A Bit About Me
Everybody has a story, and I love to create visual stories. I have always been a visual learner. In middel school I was struggling academically, but I learned that if I could create a video, I was able to express what I had learned much better as well. My friend and I started to create You Tube videos, and as they say the rest is history. I lost my older brother to a sudden cardiac arrest while in high school. Making videos was my way to get through the grief and remember all the good times. I attended Flashpoint Chicago, a campus of Columbia College Hollywood where I was able to refine my video editing and production skills.
I graduated from Flashpoint Chicago in May 2022, and I am now looking for my next adventure either in a full time position or as a freelance professional.
