About Me

Working with a camera was not an expected career choice until I was placed into my schools yearbook class in 2018. There, I learned the fundamentals of photography and was able to express that throughout my two years in the class by attending social events, sports games, and ever a few headshots.

I had also been enamored with the images I would see when watching movies or TV shows. Questioning how a project was made, what camera they used, how they were able to edit it, and so much more.

Majoring in Communication Arts (Radio-TV-Film) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was an easy decision. Throughout my college experience, I was able to expand my photography skills, and found a new love in videography/cinematography.

Now as a working professional, I have the privilege of showcasing my talent with video and photo in a different way. I plan on continuing on this path and am open to any and all opportunities that will come my way!

Videography

Halfway through my college career was when I began taking film production classes and confirmed that this was the path I wanted to go down. Working behind a camera. The highlight of my college experience was being selected by my professors as Director of  Photography in my senior capstone course where I worked on film ‘Tuned In.’

Since then, I have had the opportunity to get behind the camera on another short film, as well as producing documentaries as a Marketing Specialist at the Urban League of Greater Madison.

    “ Sister Fight” is what would happen if “The Sex Lives of College Girls” and “Little Women” had a baby raised by the cast of “Bridesmaids.” It’s a story of friendship and sisterhood. It’s a bright and vulgar, coming of age. It's also a bittersweet goodbye and a lesson in embracing change.

Photography

Photography Niche: Event/Candid

For 2 1/2 years I served as a marketing photographer for the Wisconsin Union. There, I was able to attend social and cultural events to capture images that would later be shared on various social platforms.

Currently, much of my photography revolves around events as part of my role as Marketing Specialist at the Urban League of Greater Madison. As well as ‘Behind the Scenes’ on film sets.
