Summary
As a Junior at DePaul University studying film, I have had a wide variety of experience in many roles on set. I believe my most important aspect I bring onto any team is a strive for creativity, and a new way to look at the same things. Experienced in leading multiple departments and diverse crews. I place my emphasis on enhancing storytelling through creative direction. Committed to creating compelling media that inspires a different outlook.
