About Me
Hi! I’m a filmmaker and graphic designer based in Wilmington, NC. I graduated from UNCW in 2025 with a BA in Film Studies. Since then, I’ve been doing sports videography and freelance editing. Films that I’ve done cinematography for have been selected for the Cucalorus Film Festival, Fuquay Film Fest, and Raleigh Film and Art Festival. Recently, I finished my third collaboration with Carolina Dance Theater, a 15 minute video that corresponds with a live dance performance to draw parallels between the story of Frankenstein and the prominence of generative AI.
