I have known since I was a child that I wanted to tell stories. Stories that entertained, informed, and even moved people to tears. That is the reason to why I do what I do. I owe the longevity of my "drive" and success in my career to my consistent approach towards my work ethic I bring everyday. From producing a variety of video content for Ball State University to growing into a senior video producer at Illinois Farm Bureau, my experiences have led me to become confident, calm, and open minded. Traits that have helped me lead the production of two documentaries, mentoring video interns, and 2 Emmy awards. These opportunities have enabled me to remain eager to push the creative envelope and embrace new techniques and practices in this digital age where video is more prevalent than ever. I enjoy the challenge of editing, I enjoy evaluating each location for the best interview backdrop, but most of all I enjoy collaborating with like minded, passionate individuals to communicate meaningful messages through this powerful visual medium.
