hi there!

welcome to my website!

if you found this by accident, i’m so sorry. If you stumbled across this because i told you about it… glad you made it!

this is really just a landing page for creative works i’ve done across my personal life and my professional career. take a look, be nosy!

don’t be fooled by the photo to your right. I normally wear glasses. I graduated from Belmont university in nashville, tennessee in 2021 with a bachelor of fine arts in motion pictures. i have a cat named bagel.

as of october of 2024, i am the creative services producer at WDHN news in Dothan, alabama.


Ambitions meet Reality

there’s something different about working for a news station when severe weather strike. No longer can you get the day off from work when the weather takes a turn; but rather, it’s just another day- at least in my book. The weather team may say otherwise. when planning these types of promos, i never know how they turn out - how the story needs to spin or what the guys will say over the course of many hours in front of the camera informing the wiregrass the facts at hand. However, this idea came from scouring footage from the week leading up to the storm’s landfall.

Personally and professionally, this was the most challenging project I’ve tackled in my years of creative work. I think it turned out alright.

blame it on an overactive imagination

playing pretend turned into make believing.

make believing turned into Writing.

Writing turned into storytelling.

and storytelling… you get the idea…

turns out you can make a career out of it :)
