About

Hi, nice to meet you! I am a multimedia content creator who it obsessed with capturing moments of magic in camera, with a particular interest in travel and music. I have 8 years demonstrated professional experience creating all types of content ranging from branded Tik Toks, to concert tours, feature film productions and so much more. I am a proud University of South Carolina graduate, South Carolina native and NYC transplant. In my free time I enjoy taking care of my plants and playing the piano. (Badly.) Whether you know of something that might spike my interest, or just want to chat, I’m so excited to hear from you!
