After discovering my love for film, I further honed my skills and style during my time at the U, which eventually led to my current role as the Digital Media Manager at the Office of Undergraduate Studies. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I've had and the people who have supported me along the way. Thank you for being part of my journey!

THE JOURNEY
From a young age, I was obsessed with video. My journey began in middle school with a knockoff GoPro I saved up for. As my passion deepened and my skills improved, I upgraded my gear. By high school, I had my own DSLR camera, which opened up new opportunities for paid projects. With my DSLR, I began reaching out to companies worldwide, offering my services. As my portfolio expanded in product photography, I eventually branched out into portrait work.

FILM IN SCHOOL
Throughout high school, I was uncertain about where my passion for film would take me—until senior year. That year, I joined my school’s broadcasting team, which allowed me to learn and grow as a filmmaker. It was then that I decided to pursue film in college.
During my freshman year, I worked on campaign videos for student elections. By sophomore year, I secured an internship with the University of Utah Athletics Department, where I had the incredible opportunity to film for all of the University’s D1 teams.

Creating Value
After my time with Utah Athletics, I launched a career in freelance filmmaking, focusing on collaborating with local small businesses and student-run companies. My goal has always been to add value and support the growth of these ventures. In today’s digital world, film has become more important than ever, as the content I create on various social media platforms directly influences the products and services people choose. Working with student-run companies has been particularly rewarding, allowing me to contribute to the success of fellow students and entrepreneurs.
After College
After graduating, I joined the Office of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Utah as the Digital Media Manager. In this role, I've had the opportunity to significantly grow and enhance the department's social media presence across multiple platforms. By developing targeted strategies and engaging content, I've helped increase our online following and broaden our reach, connecting with students and faculty in meaningful ways. This experience has also been instrumental in my professional growth, allowing me to refine my skills in digital marketing, content creation, and strategic communication. I'm proud of the impact I've made and excited to continue driving innovation in the digital space.
