About Me

I am currently a Senior at Colorado College, studying Film and Media with a minor in Philosophy. When not on set or in the classroom, you can find me on the mountain skiing or hiking, camping in a beautiful place for a few nights, or even in my room watching television. I have been studying film since sophomore year of high school and I am passionate about writing, producing, and cinematography. In the summer of 2023, I was fortunate enough to intern at Ark Media in Brooklyn. I primarily worked post production for the Paramount+ Documentary Series, 72 Seconds in Rittenhouse Square, as well as the development of multiple other projects. In the summer of 2024, I was fortunate yet again. I was able to intern for NPR on the visuals team in Washington DC. I worked on a vast variety of things, including Educational videos, daily shorts, and Tiny Desk concerts. I hope to continue to learn and experience more, honing my skills along the way.

Please reach out if you have any questions, advice, funny stories… anything!
