I enjoy shaping stories visually, whether editing montages for social media, coloring footage, or capturing dynamic camera moves on set. I’m proficient with DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Canva, and Photopea, and I’ve spent more than four years using Google Drive and Microsoft Office to stay organized and collaborative. I’m currently pursuing a BA in Film and Television at California Lutheran University (expected May 2026) and have contributed as a Social Media Cinematographer/Editor for Kindred Social Club, a Sports Broadcaster for CLU, and a range of freelance and student productions as a director, assistant director, and editor.
