I was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan. From a very young age I maintained a passion for technology, psychology and creativity, combined. This evolved into a desire to pursue the media arts. While still in school I began working on a plethora of media projects for a number of organizations. I graduated Summa Cum Lauda in 2008 with a B.A. in Electronic Media & Film and a Minor in Psychology from Eastern Michigan University. In 2009 I received a certificate in Digital Video Film Production from Washtenaw Community College. In 2011 I became an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore. I have over 8 years of video production experience. For over 6 years I have worked with the Environmental Protection Agency creating media to communicate advanced technology to legislators, executives and the general public. At the EPA and with other freelance clients I have created/produced virtually any and every media presentation you can imagine including: photos, videos, animations, pamphlets, posters, websites, t-shirts, applications, DVDs, business cards, tabloids, music and more. More recently I have also worked as an adjunct visual communications instructor at ITT Tech in Caton, MI.
