I am a filmmaker, based in Illinois with an ever-growing portfolio. Originally from the Southside of Chicago, I received my high school diploma from Dunbar Vocational Career Academy, where I studied digital media production for 3 of my 4 years. I recently graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where I majored in Radio- Television with a minor in Cinema. During my time at SIUC, I have been involved in several different campus organizations and assisted fellow students on many projects. I plan to someday launch Block 99 Productions, a film production company named after my childhood street. One of the most important goals of Block 99 Productions is to create films and television programs that will uplift the human spirit.
