Born in West Virgina and raised in Islamorada, Florida (The Florida Keys) - I have had the opportunities to experience a lot in a short amount of time. I want to extend that experience even further and to see other cultures, people, and places. I will have my Masters degree in accounting and will start working at Deloitte, January 2017, but have decided that Film Making and telling the stories of others is what I ultimately want to do.

I always loved taking photos and videos of people or places because it truly captures a moment in time that cannot be recreated ever again. It's a way to time travel and experience what happened during that time and a way to share stories. The older that I grew I started realizing what I was being drawn to in film and photography. I am truly drawn to people and candid moments as much as I am drawn to isolated and way out there places. In a way film making and photography has helped me express my interests and view of this world in a way that I could not have before.

I hope to continue on this path and to be able to tell the stories of people that I meet on the way and to meet new friends as well.
