I grew up in Northeast Ohio. At a young age I was ambitious and imaginative, constantly curious and always pushing myself to be better. I graduated Kenston High School in 2006, and in 2011, after studying in exchange programs in North Carolina and Florence, Italy, I finished my undergraduate degree at Kent State University. In 2012, I enrolled in the graduate School and Television Program at the University of Southern California (USC). I graduated in 2016 and have since worked many freelance jobs in editing, writing, production sound and producing. My lifelong career aspirations deal in story-telling. Stories have the ability to connect people together and transcend both time and space. It is a universal language that unites people in their common interests, feelings and ambitions. These qualities attract me to the world of media, entertainment and the arts.Most of my current work has been online content, but I have also worked in short films, feature films and reality television pilots. I have worked many different jobs, created small-business, and learned valuable life-lessons in my 30 years. I look forward to expanding my horizons as a valuable asset as I enter into a competitive work force.
