my videography career started my sophomore year of high school where We had a Video production career tech course. I was asked to assist with the video announcements every morning, and we were lucky enough to have a professional broadcasting room thanks to a local news station who donated an entire production set, all the way from the switcher boards to the cameras.
After High school, I chose to get a Bachelors Degree in Music Technology at Georgia State University, where my individual focus was on recording audio for film. Here, I was able to get hands on experience recording and mixing in professional studios under the supervision of Dr. Robert Thompson. For my final project in my program, I elected to strip audio from movie scenes, then record and mix in new Foley sounds to fit the scenes.
While finishing my music Technology program, I decided to do a voluntary internship with the Georgia State Marching Band which I had been a part of the previous four years. the band was pleased with my performance so much that they hired me to shoot a highlight video for a marching band competition they hosted. Through this event, I was able to connect with Amy Walker, the producer for Georgia State Athletics, where I soon after started picking up production gigs.
Following graduation, I worked full time for KEH Camera as a camera Tech for two and a half years where I was able to get priceless, hands on experience with all genres of cameras across the spectrum. After proving myself, I became the lead tech for drones and Video Production equipment. During this time, I was picking up more creative and production freelancing gigs on the side. I also met Horn Photography + Design through a friend's wedding, and soon after signed on to be their Wedding Videographer.
Since July 2021, I have been freelancing Full time.
I Work regularly with Georgia Public Broadcast (GPB) and production companies in the Atlanta Area as a camera Operator and have had the opportunities to be a camera operator at events with presidents, governors, ambassadors, and other world leaders and high profile individuals.
