After graduating in 2022 from Wake Forest University with a B.A. in Anthropology, I moved out to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the creative arts. Since then I have found success in top-to-bottom production of films, shorts, and demo reels for actors. I have gained experience screen writing on both personal and professional projects. I have also pursued my love of game mastering and design by operating as a freelance game master for multiple systems. My time in gaming allows me to constantly create unique narratives, enemies, allies, and challenges while maintaining flexible mechanics that I adapt to fit the story. I have designed my own TTRPG gaming system and plan on refining and eventually publishing it, complete with modules and additional downloadable content. In my free time I hike, play guitar, film personal projects, and play video or table top games. If hired, I will bring a sense of unique imagination and play, combined with strong discipline and determination to create a quality story, game, or product.
