About

I graduated magna cum laude from Pace University, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences with a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Screen Studies and minoring in Psychology. During my studies, I have filmed and edited projects that have been viewed by large audiences. For example, my video poem project “blossomless saplings” has been featured in Counterclock Journal. Additionally, I was a production intern and a digital production assistant for the NAACP Image Award-winning and Emmy-nominated talk show, SHERRI, in which I was involved with assisting in content creation for the show. I have won a Silver and Bronze Telly Award for my work for SHERRI.
