Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve always been drawn to the arts and the creative process. I started my journey in music as a Trumpet player in middle school and quickly transitioned into a leadership role as drum major for my high school marching band. I led his high school marching band to a first-place victory in the SCSBOA championships in 2014, and they were commended for their outstanding visuals and musical performance. From this victory, my eye for photography and cinematic sequences flourished. During college, I traveled countrywide, performing music and teaching dance to high school marching bands with multiple world-class ensembles, including DCI and WGI.
In 2017, I began to film music videos and record live sessions with local artists to promote their work and fulfill his passion for creation beyond musicianship. I shot his first major festival (SXSW festival) in March 2018, touring with a local band with little digital media exposure. I shot photos, video performances and created a music video for them, giving them a visual media genesis to kick-start their growth.
I’m currently the Director of Media & Marketing at Dark Sky Percussion as well as the Head of video productions and a creative Specialist at Boeing + Millennium Space Systems. I’m pursuing a MA in Digital Cinematography at Full Sail University 🎥
When I’m not creating, I enjoy hanging out with animals (especially dogs), playing Dungeons and Dragons, watching Star Wars and Marvel, Hiking, Traveling, Making Coffee, Cooking, and enjoying my life with my friends and family.
