About

I’m a Ferris State University alum with a passion for storytelling through every lens, whether directing award-winning short films or crafting dynamic video content for fortune 500 brands. My work has been recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Eclipse Awards, but what excites me most is the process: collaborating with teams, problem-solving under deadlines, and finding creative ways to get results.

Growing up in rural Johannesburg, Michigan, I channeled my curiosity into storytelling wherever I could. In high school, that meant co-launching our school’s first broadcast program, teaching myself Premiere on home laptops and filming Friday night football games with hand-me-down cameras. What started as technical tinkering became an obsession: editing transformed from a skill into a puzzle I couldn’t put down. There’s a magic in stitching raw clips into narratives so seamless, you’d never guess they’re backed by 47 takes and a few sleepless nights.

At Ferris State, I dove deeper, writing and directing short films and competing in the Grand Rapids Film Festival’s 36-Hour Challenge. Our short film Periphery won awards for editing and sound, later screening at the PBS Online Film Festival. My internship at Fission3 leveled me up from editing local ads to creating award winning projects for clients like ArtPrize. Now, as a freelance video specialist, I blend technical polish with a a passion for collaboration.

Curiosity and hands-on creativity drive my work today. I’m still eager to geek out over a perfectly color-graded shot, troubleshoot a tricky edit, or brainstorm stories that resonate. Let’s explore what we can create together!
