About

In third grade every day we had to write in our journals, it could be about anything, our day, what we want to eat when we get home, a made up story. I chose the latter. Once I finished my story about a young outcast, who’s greatest desire was to join the cool scooter gang, I knew that story was too good to stay on paper. So I got my first video camera. It wasn’t actually mine it was my parents, but I figured finders keepers. With my camera and some friends we made The Scooter Kid. We edited it on Windows Movie Maker and put our masterpiece onto a dozen blank DVD’s and distributed them to all our neighbors doors. It was a hit, on our street at least.

Since then, I’ve grown from filming backyard productions to working professionally as a videographer, editor, and marketer. I completed my degree in Digital Cinema at Utah Valley University, earned my Avid Media Composer Professional Certification, and have spent the past two years creating content, managing paid campaigns, and driving engagement at ROA Off-Road. From running full video shoots to handling brand strategy, I love the entire process of crafting visual stories that connect with people.

At the heart of everything I do is a genuine love for people—their stories, their challenges, and what motivates them. With five years of experience in customer service and team leadership, I've developed a deep sense of empathy and an interest in human behavior that eventually led me to pursue a minor in Psychology and begin pre-medical coursework. While digital media is still a strong passion, I'm focused about bridging creativity with compassion, whether that means inspiring someone through a video or helping someone in a healthcare setting.

My goal is to share meaningful stories that spark emotion, build connection, and make a difference, on screen and beyond.
