About Me

I first got my hands on a camera in my high school's award-winning broadcast program, Davison Television (DTV News) at 14 years old. There, I developed a strong work ethic and fostered a love for media, getting hands-on experience in everything to do with sports and news media. In the Fall of 2024, I began my third year of college, transferring from SVSU as a Communications major to Central Michigan University, becoming a Media Arts major with a Communications minor. I have developed into a creative videographer with a diverse background, strong fundamentals, and an undying passion for creating compelling content. I plan to graduate in the Spring of 2026 and pursue professional opportunities in creative video production!

I currently work as a Content Intern with the Great Lakes Loons, the High-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. I also take up freelance opportunities in the form of videography/editing, live camera operation, and announcing! Some of the groups I have done freelance work for include:

The PreP Sports Media (live camera operator)

Phi Delta Theta Fraternity - Central Michigan (videography/editing)

Sigma Pi Fraternity - Saginaw Valley State University (videography/editing)

Flint Monarchs GWBA Team (on-air talent/production)
