I’m a filmmaker, writer, and editor. I started learning film editing in high school and quickly fell in love with the process—which is why I’m still pursuing this field today. I’ve directed and edited two short films that competed internationally. Writing is also a strong passion of mine; I’ve written several short films and feature-length narratives intended for film and television. I mainly work with Adobe Premiere for editing. I also do videography, just in case you’re interested. 🙂
