About Me

I’m a filmmaker and photographer based between Erie and Sacramento, Pennsylvania, driven by a lifelong fascination with visual storytelling. My interest began early—shaped by the films my parents shared with me and a simple disposable camera I brought to my aunt’s wedding.

Today, my work is centered on cinematography and production sound, where I explore how image and audio work together to shape emotion and atmosphere. In my photography, I’m especially drawn to capturing women in a way that feels natural, honest, and empowering. My goal is to create an environment where every person feels comfortable, confident, and seen. I work with a blend of candid and guided moments, often using natural settings and light to highlight genuine expression and beauty.

I’m currently pursuing a degree in Film and Photography at PennWest Edinboro, where I continue to refine my technical skills and develop a body of work that reflects my perspective.
