I believe it's important to capture life's precious moments in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible.  I've always had a passion for filmmaking and the ability to show other people the same world from a different perspective.  The first short film that I ever produced was for my fifth-grade class in elementary school - a spoof of The Wizard of Oz.  Throughout middle school and high school, I continued to produce video shorts for classes and field reports for the morning announcements.  While my skills developed I focused on the genre of Horror, submitting multiple short films to the AHML Teen Film Festival where I won various awards for my work and was later invited back to offer advice on the judge's panel to prospective filmmakers. 
I've recently graduated from Bradley University with a BS degree in Television Arts, and I am always looking for my next creative opportunity.
