Background

I consider myself a long-time student of the storytelling power of film. From a young age, I have had a distinct interest in the human experience. Even when it comes to fictional storytelling, I find myself at home within the horror genre specifically for its basis in what we as viewers really fear out here in the real world. The creative elements that go into both film and tabletop storytelling have been a part of my life’s passion, and it would be an honor and a privilege to dedicate my full-time career to something I’ve had to consider a “side quest” until now.

Having received the Bunton-Waller Fellows full-tuition scholarship to Penn State University for Black academic excellence, I have held myself to that same standard of excellence throughout my decades of experience volunteering, networking, and fundraising in both the media arts and non-profit spaces.

Currently, I am in pursuit of my Master's in Communications & PR while making film and tabletop content across the U.S.
