Ever since I was little I have always been fascinated with movies and still look to them today for life lessons. When I was 10 my grandmother bought me my first camera and I instantly fell in love with the process of film-making. It was in high school though that I discovered film was more than just moving pictures on a screen. That there was a language of composition and different elements that all played a part in creating the most impactful experience possible for the audience. I enrolled at Quinnipiac University knowing that I wanted to continue my education in film with the hopes to one day inspire both everyday people and future filmmakers with inspiration and imagination.
For almost 4 years now I have been working as a freelancer making highlight videos for prospective high school athletes to show collegiate coaches. I cut together their best moments from the season that help to highlight each player’s strengths and abilities for coaches to take note on. My freelancing work has also taken me all around Connecticut from physical fitness videos in Milford to filming live fires at the Greenwich Fire Department Fire Ops Day.
When I’m not editing freelance work though I try to expand my own skills through books and tutorials online. I do this so that I can open improve the quality of my current work for clients while also opening the door to more opportunities. But at the end of the day, in any editing work that I do, my goal is to have the viewers engaged with the content from beginning to end and get the information or entertainment from my work.
