about me

Buffalo native currently studying at Hobart and William Smith College, majoring in Media and Society and pursuing a career within the film and television industries. My passion lies in filmmaking and digital content production, with specific interests in directing and cinematography.

 

My love of film began at a young age, and at nine years old I was enrolled in a creative workshop with a local filmmaker. Throughout my middle school and high school years I continued to create my own short films, ranging from short projects with my friends to promotional videos for my school. 

 

My exploration of cameras and creative equipment really advanced in high school when I was inspired by my journalism class to explore documentary production, and my knowledge of the field has prospered in college through classes like Intro to Video Art, Intro to Media and Society, Media Industries, American Cinema, The Art of Editing for Film, and Italian Cinema. I’ve further discovered my love for story-telling in these courses, as well as gaining experience with various editing software, cameras, lighting and audio equipment to produce music videos, video essays, short documentaries, podcasts, animations, and short films. I've also been able to share this passion through my role as a teaching assistant in Intro to Global Animations and through my on campus job as a Digital Media Assistant.

​

During my time in college I've produced several independent short films, two of which have been screened at several festivals including that of my hometown, the Buffalo International Film Festival.
