A creative, seasoned professional who thinks differently.

I was born and raised in Red Bank, TN—a small town just outside Chattanooga. I first developed a love for media and production when I was 12, which is when I fell in love with radio. I began my career working for a local radio station at 16 and have since taken almost every opportunity that’s come my way. I received my Associate of Applied Science in Digital Media and Design from Chattanooga State Community College in 2017. Currently, I’m working toward completing my Bachelor’s in Mass Communications at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

​

Between my two eras of higher education, I worked for three network-affiliated television stations. Through those organizations and my time in a newsroom environment, I learned how to be an efficient and effective storyteller. I discovered that the best stories are human-focused and community-driven, and that the best videos require planning and a willingness to go above and beyond to make a project shine. I strive to bring that same dedication to every project I take on, no matter who the client is.

​

My ultimate dream job would be to work as a features videographer and editor for PBS or CBS Sunday Morning. Of course, that remains a dream—for now. I’m currently employed at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga as the Marketing and Communications videographer and editor, where my job is to tell the story of our university through video. I hope to continue in this role for as long as possible, and perhaps move into a supervisory position one day.

 

If CBS or PBS ever comes calling, I’ll be ready—but truly, I’m happiest at home at UTC in good ol’ Chattanooga!
