What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that allows me to leverage my creative skills in videography and storytelling to deliver high-quality content while collaborating with clients to meet their vision.

I am a passionate and detail-oriented wedding videographer with a strong foundation in film production. Currently freelancing, I specialize in capturing and editing wedding videos that tell meaningful stories. My experience includes managing client communications, creating shot lists, and editing films using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Previously, I worked as a Shift Supervisor and Barista at Caribou Coffee, where I honed my leadership and customer service skills. I also served as a Hostess/Server at Old Chicago, further developing my ability to work in fast-paced environments and ensure customer satisfaction.

I hold a B.F.A. in Film Production from Minnesota State University Moorhead, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. My education equipped me with skills in film theory, editing techniques, and storytelling, which I apply to create engaging and creative content.
