I'm a proud West Texas country girl obsessed with having a camera in my hand at all times (which unfortunately means my iPhone has over 60,000+ photos/videos). To sum it up, I'm a passionate content creator! I believe media has a significant influence on each of us and I strive to be a part of producing positive and impactful content. I have spent the past few years as a Creative Specialist working on video content for Lerma Agency, HOPE International and Compassion International's USA Marketing. It was incredible to have the opportunity to share the stories of impact being made and to turn quick/ fun social videos. Storytelling is so important to me and is the biggest reason why I have chosen this career path. Stories take our eyes off of our own lives and give us an experience to be impacted for the better in one way or another. I have been blessed to travel to 8 countries and counting. Each time I leave the country I gain a new perspective of the world and the people who live in it. I love storytelling because I love people. My work is at it's best when I am able to use my relationally oriented strengths.
