Videography | Video Editing | Photography | Content Strategy
The Best videos tell a story. I combine my knowledge and experience in storytelling to bring high quality visuals to life and elevate brand content.
I am a national award-winning filmmaker and video journalist with a strong background in documentary production, creative direction, and visual storytelling. Born in Australia and raised in Santa Barbara, California, I began my journey into videography and journalism in 2021 through my high school’s nationally recognized broadcast news program, DPNews. I have developed skills in content strategy, marketing, short-form content production, and communications.
My work spans a range of formats including content strategy and creation, sports videography, feature and broadcast news, and documentary film. Now studying Journalism & Communications, I’m focused on improving my storytelling and strengthening my skills in video production.
When I am not working on videos, you can find me coaching sailing. With experience as a former US National Team member and current collegiate sailor I am able to provide instruction to youth sailors at all levels from learn to sail through to competitive racing.
