About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gain real world experiences to see and learn as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Active 26 years old. Currently I produce videos for a nonprofit in Minnesota, looking to go on in documentary film making, sometime in the future. For now I'm trying to develop my skills without going to grad school.

I enjoy frolf, ethnic food, making music, playing cello, and public radio. Trying to use my time better.

PHILOSOPHY

agree to disagree and get along.
