Every human sees the world through a unique lens filtered through their own personal experiences. We tell ourselves all kinds of stories – about ourselves, other people, and the places in which we live.

I picked up a camera in my early teens and never turned back, eventually finding a home in documentary filmmaking. I strive to make films that are an invitation to bask in the strange beauty of existing. Through a meditative and cinematic style, my work aims to cultivate nostalgia for the familiar and curiosity for the unknown.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Documentary Journalism from the University of Missouri, and I specialize in filming, editing and producing documentary-style films with additional expertise in photography. I’m currently working as a videographer and editor at KERTIS, a creative agency in Louisville, Kentucky, in a specialized department for independent documentary projects.
