In college I had the opportunity to be heavily involved within the Sports Information office. I reinvented the way my school produced content online by being a videographer/content creator for our athletic department. My duties ranged from filming on the sidelines, directing media days and editing video & photo projects for social media. Some of these projects include game highlights, interviews, season previews, vertical reels, team hype videos, game day experiences, and the end of year awards. Since graduating, I have had the opportunity to do freelance work for a number of businesses including a Barbershop, Keynote Speaker, Car Dealership, and a worldwide car part manufacturer. I have also gotten the chance to film and edit content for numerous sporting events like the Division 3 baseball National Championship, OHSAA football games, and the USA vs Canada roundnet tournament in Buffalo, NY.
