Artist statement
At my core, I am a storyteller with an essential human need for telling impactful stories. As someone who has lived in the same suburban house in Columbus my whole life, my community is everything to me. As a professional, I strive to tell stories that highlight my community; as a human being, I strive to tell stories that empower my community with resources promoting equity and fairness for all.
As an artist, I am interested in telling the stories within communities that haven't been told. As a journalist, this is an essential part of the job. In my short films, I like to tell stories about the things that go on underneath, utilizing the surreal to give light to real-world issues.
Statement on AI
None of my creative works on this website use AI.
Goals and where I’m growing
- I would like to become a multimedia journalist, and create films on the side.
- I would like to strengthen my on-set and lighting skills.
- I want to join a creative team that meshes well together.
One thing that I value is a team that is built on community. Having rapport outside of work is an essential function for me, because it strengthens bonds in all facets of life.
Beyond the work
In my free time, I like to support my local movie theaters, shoot on film, and play with my cat Stevie.
