Born and raised in a one-stoplight town nestled deep in Southwest Virginia, I come from a place where front porches are storytelling stages, and every sunset feels personal.

 

Life in the South taught me to savor the little moments — the shared laughter, the tearful goodbyes, the quiet glances that speak volumes. I didn’t just grow up in a small town — I grew up with it.

​

I followed that passion for storytelling all the way to East Tennessee State University, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Digital Media with a concentration in Visual Effects and Video Editing. There, I honed my craft - blending creativity with technical skill and learning how to turn fleeting moments into lasting visuals.
