About
Early Life
When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was create stories and worlds for them to live in. I often convinced my parents and siblings to indulge in hours of playing pretend, so I can get lost in the creativity within me. As early as I can remember I was making trailer cards or dialogue for movies and shows. Leading to improvised productions and events for anyone who would take the time. All I wanted to do with my life is to create with my hands and transport people to these environments just for a little while.
As I grew up, the desires began to grow into a passion to learn the tools I needed to make this a reality. Words and Film became my tools to document the stories that I wanted to tell. I quickly learned video editing so as to turn my enormous store of videos on my phone into cohesive stories to show. I had found my foundation for the path to creativity that I had been fighting for as a child.
Early Academic Studies
At Upper Dublin High School, I set my sights on maxing out on art and visual medium classes along with traditional curriculum. I took three years of graphic design, learned Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and InDesign. Meanwhile, I took classes in Film and Television Production, Screenwriting, editing, and learned programs such as Adobe Premier. I spent my junior and senior developing and producing three different films that would be showcased in the Greenfield Film Festival.
I served on the main board of the Environmental Education Club as Head of Educational Trips, herding high school volunteers and hundreds of middle schoolers. Also wrote and produced entertainment segments and PSA’s that pertained to the student body.
Undergraduate Studies
I now have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Temple University in Film and Media Arts with an concentration in screenwriting along with with a certificate in Business from the Fox School of Business.
Over those four years I was credited on many creative projects, serving as a writer, director, performer, editor and crew member, eventually winning Best BFA Screenwriting award in 2024.
My drive and passion throughout my academic experiences in business and media success set me up to begin my professional career. In recent years I have secured employment at all different industries at all different levels. This has allowed me to gain valuable skills in management, business, media production and development. The many roles I have been fortunate to work have brought me valuable connections and relationships with executives and staff, awards, and an extensive portfolio of work. I hope to use these skills to continue a long career in pursuit of a position as creative director.
