Produced roughly 30 unique pitch decks and proposals a month across industries ranging from med spas and aesthetics to construction, home improvement, earth movers, automotive sales, and banking. Built the pitch decks, proposals, and sales collateral that carried the sales team into client meetings, working across a full pipeline of prospective and active deals.

Run my own photography and video business on the side, focused on documentary-style storytelling. Photograph and film weddings, baptisms, engagements, birthdays, anniversaries, funerals, and senior sessions, editing everything myself in Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro.

Ran day-to-day operations for one of Tennessee's largest high-volume photography companies, managing 30+ accounts across schools and sports programs, with roughly 100,000 kids photographed every year. Built AI-powered workflow tools that cut processing time by ~60% and owned the full lifecycle on every account, including scheduling, materials, yearbook editing, and quality control.

Managed the studio and shot high-volume school and sports sessions as lead photographer. Handled gear setup and load-in/out for every session, trained and led other photographers, and edited and retouched every final image.

Ran a mobile photography studio across Tennessee and Kentucky, photographing church directories on-site. Handled every part of the shoot day myself - setup, photography, client relations - often 12 hours on set, and gained a reputation for photos that sold well due to ability to get people to relax and smile authentically.

Co-founded a production company built around outdoor adventure content, including whitewater kayak races. Shot and edited everything from start to finish, storyboarding through delivery, and handled client outreach and vendor communications.

Completed a 6-month full-stack web development program covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AngularJS, Node.js, MongoDB, Express, and Ionic.

Earned a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations with a focus on strategic communication, campaign management, media relations, and ethical decision making.
