Growing up some of the most horrific, heinous, and inhumane crimes were presented to me as bedtime stories. My mom was the county criminal prosecutor of our rural Midwestern town, and my father was a city police officer and detective. These bedtime stories were when I was first introduced and fell in love with news, documentary, and non-fiction.

I continued my passion for storytelling by attending the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I have recently graduated. During my time at SCAD, I worked as a production intern, documentary intern, post-production and outreach associate, and production coordinator for companies like 13th Gen, Visual 14, The Years Project, and Motto Pictures. My most notable work as a producer was for the short Rural Revival, an award winning environmental documentary that opened the North Dakota Environmental Film Festival and is being used as curriculum across the country at colleges such as the University of Cincinnati. I am currently employed by Archer Gray.

I aim for my work and documentaries to tell the extraordinary stories of people in places other than just major cities like Hollywood or New York. I want to point the camera at places many filmmakers have deemed “fly over states” and show the culture, support, and love in these communities not often correctly represented in mainstream media.
