About me

I am a creative individual with a passion editing. I enjoy working with other people and being around a positive and fun work environment. I've been into film making since I was very young and made many short films that I've written, filmed and edited. In my opinion, there is no greater feeling than creating stories and films that entertain and captivate an audience. I have years of experience in film and entertainment. I started attending TV and Film classes in 2010. In my sophomore year of high school, I took a Film Production class for all four quarters of the school year. During my junior and senior of high school, I enrolled in the TV Production & Digital Film class at the BOCES Tech Center. During my freshman year at the School of Visual Arts, I took multiple classes involved in the entertainment industry. Classes included: Production, Cinematography, Editing, Screenwriting, Film History, and Acting. I also wrote, produced, filmed, and directed my very own short film. When I attended Purchase College, I enrolled as a screenwriting and play writing major, which involved writing multiple short films and plays which were entertaining and received very well by my professors and peers. After I finished my first year of college, I worked for an editing house called "Cut + Run" and was an intern there in the summer. This experience gave me an opportunity to work with a creative team in an office environment and acquire important skills, such as: organization, adapting to new computer software, and sharpening my communication and listening abilities. My most recent experience was attending the Austin Film Festival after my screenplay advanced to the second round of their annual screenwriting competition.
