I was born and raised in Minnesota and have been fascinated with storytelling since I can remember. I've been spending my academic time studying both theatrical and film based acting & producing and now that I'm out of school I've moved to Los Angeles spending my days doing the same.
My biggest achievements would be writing and directing 3 one-acts plays, co-created 2 musicals, written and directed 2 short films for the Z-Film Festival as well as assistant directing dozens of theatrical and film productions. A handful of the films and shows I've worked on have been award winning productions.
I am currently living in Los Angeles looking to expand my acting and film experiences working equal parts actor, director, and editor. Most recently I have directed & edited episodes of the web series "Rough Love" and edited 3 music videos for the band "The Sunshine."
I am still as in love with storytelling as the days I first started, I have spent my life breathing life into stories to share year after year. I hope to work with more people who feel the same.
Thank you for reading,
