I'm a Wilmington-based student and content creator with a passion for storytelling through video and social media. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I’m exploring genetics, immunology, chemistry, and virology. I value curiosity, collaboration, and hands-on learning, both in the lab and in media projects. Outside the classroom, I plan, film, and edit long-form and short-form content for my self-owned channel, manage upload schedules and thumbnails, and engage with audiences. I also enjoy small-scale farming and community projects that require strong time management and teamwork.
