Don’t let the tattoos fool you, I’m a terminal optimist and a total goofball. A southerner hailing from North Carolina’s “rural suburbia,” the culture of storytelling is in my blood. Growing up fascinated by my father’s local crime tales and my mother’s Appalachian folklore, the two melded into a sense of morbid curiosity and childlike wonder— that somehow continue to coexist in one brain.

Since moving to Los Angeles, I’ve found myself creative directing branded content and 360 campaigns for brands like Straight Talk, Samsung, Paramount+, FX, Pinterest and a dizzying amount more.

I grabbed my BFA in the School of Filmmaking at University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Prior to that, I attended North Carolina State University’s noted Design School and UNCSA’s own Visual Arts conservatory program. Currently, I’ve furthering my education with UCLA in Copywriting for Marketing.
