About Me:
I specialize in social first video content. With cinematography, editing, and strategic distribution Ive learned how to catch peoples attention, tell a story, and aligning with brand goals in both short and long form video content.
I can craft content that not only looks good, but resonates with the right audience. From long form storytelling to short, high impact clips, I can work across production, editing, and social strategy to ensure content reaches and engages the people who matter. 
If I'm working behind the camera or in the edit bay, my goal is always the same create work that connects, inspires, and drives results.

Resume
No Contest is a documentary style surf series that goes beyond the competition scene to explore the culture, people, and hidden stories behind the world’s best surf destinations. The series dives into the local surf communities, showcasing iconic waves, underground talent, and the unique lifestyle that surrounds each stop. 
My role on this project was cinematographer, capturing both water angles and wide shots on land. I had the incredible opportunity to shoot alongside an amazing crew from Stab and Red Bull during the summer after my junior year of college. I’m super grateful for the opportunity I had to learn and grow alongside some of the best in the industry.

Stab in the Dark is a one-of-a-kind surf film series that brings together the world’s best surfers and top shapers for a blind board test, pushing design and performance to the limit. The project blends high-level surfing with storytelling, giving viewers an inside look at the creative process behind board shaping and the unfiltered reactions of the surfers putting them to the test.
My role here was the social editor, my goal was to create engaging content to amplify the film’s reach. I worked on video distribution for partners like Red Bull and O’Neill, ensuring the project gained maximum visibility while maintaining its creative integrity. I played a key role in shaping how Stab in the Dark was presented to audiences worldwide.

There’s no entry fee, no heats, no rules celebrating local surf communities, spreading good vibes, and keeping things spontaneous.
As a social editor for Sun Bum’s Bum Rush Tour, I edited content to showcase the spontaneity and energy of each event. I created social edits, optimized videos for engagement, and helped amplify the tour’s reach across instagram and youtube.

I was the first intern in Power Digital’s creative department, contributing to real client projects and watching my work make an impact.

Vans Pipe Masters: In 2023, Vans set out to showcase the lives of Pipe Masters competitors, ending with what they plan to eat on the morning of the event. Some kept it simple with smoothies, while others went all out catching and cooking their own fish. 
My role as a social editor was to create engaging clips that highlighted these pre-comp rituals, capturing the personalities and routines of the competitors that resonated with Vans’ audience across social platforms.
