short-form video
Four years ago, I made a viral dorm tour video with a point and shoot and iMovie. From vox pop edits to storyboarding an entire short-form series, to conducting interviews, doing research, operating C300s, and designing opening graphics in Aftereffects, I've now done it all. Watch my 2 minute reel to experience a 4 year journey.

Students on the Street
University of wisconsin madison
I worked as a video production intern for University of Wisconsin Madison's video department for 4 years. I was hired off a viral dorm tour video I made (linked down in personal), and from there, I scripted, directed, produced, and edited over 20 videos for university. These videos range in style, but are mostly short-form social videos on student life and student stories.
