About Me
Video storytelling lets me blend data-driven strategy with authentic human connection. Whether I'm digitizing cherished family memories, highlighting our library volunteers' dedication, or collaborating with local teachers, I create content that reflects our diverse community while staying on trend.
Each project combines careful analysis with creative storytelling to ensure our message resonates with everyone – from kids to seniors.
Take a look at my full collection below.
