Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. My career began at PBS where I worked with organizations like ESPN and Fox College Sports, and as a camera operator for ROMP, Kentucky’s Bluegrass Music Festival. One of my most formative roles was as an editor and videographer for the Emmy Award–winning web series Lost River Sessions.
I soon transitioned into commercial spaces, filming and editing work for a wide range of national brands, including Kodak Alaris, American Express, Paychex, General Motors, the National Park Service, Consumer Cellular, and more. I found myself continually pulled toward work that felt more intimate—stories that required patience, trust, and a closer relationship to the people in front of the camera.
That pull eventually carried me fully into filmmaking. I now work as a director of photography on music videos, documentary work and narrative shorts and features. I prioritize collaboration with my Black, POC and queer communities, creating a space where they can be authors of their own image.
