Originally I am from central Iowa and found my passion for the arts through my love for movies, my older sister, and browsing Pinterest and other creative social media. Growing up my sister was a dancer, singer, actor, and performed on Broadway, so I was always around creative people. These creative influences led me to the world of photo editing and graphic design, where I would make YouTube banners and thumbnails for people. It wasn't until high school that I started to pursue my current passions.

I have been doing photography for eight years now and filmmaking for three years. It was my passion for photography and still images that led me towards wanting to pursue cinematography. Since there are not many resources for filmmaking in Iowa, I wrote, directed, produced, and did the cinematography for multiple short films on my own. Some have won awards and been an official selection at festivals such as the Los Angeles Film Awards and New York International Film Awards. This experience is what led me to love the filmmaking process and want to pursue becoming a filmmaker as a career.

A few projects I have recently been the Cinematographer for are titled "The Clubhouse" and “Brushed Hope”. The most recent films I was the Cinematographer for that are currently in post-production are called “The Vagabond” and “Bereavement”. They’re set to release in May of 2025.
