ABOUT ME
I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 22, 1996. I grew up with a small family and lived with my parents, Ann and Tom, and twin sister, Meghan. It was hard for me to imagine, as a kid, where my life would take me, but I knew early on that I was not the type of person to work a 9 to 5 job at a desk everyday. I loved movies, exploring, sports, and many other things that kids like, but was still unsure of what career I wanted to pursue as an adult. That’s when; at around the age of 13, I got my first camera. I fell in love with the art of filmmaking, and by the age of 17 I knew that I was meant to be a filmmaker. I filmed everything and brought my camera everywhere, capturing important moments and making fictional stories come to life. I had fun every step of the way, but when high school was ending and college was the next step in my education I had a hard decision to make. I had to choose between a degree that would guarantee wealth in the future or follow my dreams and go to film school. It was a tough decision, but in the end I knew my dreams and passions meant everything to me. So I packed my bags and moved to Orlando, Florida pursuing a film degree. I worked hard during school. I was able to direct a documentary, two short films where I oversaw a crew of about 25 students, and three films, outside of class, that won at film festivals. I couldn’t be more proud of the final outcome of each. Now that my schooling is coming to an end I am looking for the next step of my career.
