About the Creator

Started from making youtube videos…

Recognizing my passion for storytelling through film, I became as a freelance sportsvideo editor on social media platforms. I have worked on projects for high school athletes and prominent digital media companies, including @Balldawgs, an organization dedicated to showcasing young basketball talent through highlights and mixtapes. I joined Balldawgs in its early stages, contributing to its growth into a widely recognized platform. Together, we have produced numerous videos featuring high school and college athletes, many of whom have since advanced to the NBA.

Taking the next leap..

Starting in 2024, I began an internship with Purdue Football as part of their creative media team. In this role, I was deeply involved in producing dynamic video content tailored for social media platforms, capturing and editing footage for all home games, and shooting high-quality photos that highlighted key moments both on and off the field. Beyond content creation, I gained invaluable behind-the-scenes access to understand how a Big Ten football program’s media and communications team operates at a professional level. From planning shoot schedules to collaborating with coaches, athletes, and graphic designers, I experienced the full creative pipeline in a fast-paced sports environment. This internship not only strengthened my technical skills in video production, photography, and content strategy, but also significantly enhanced my ability to work under pressure and adapt to real-time storytelling needs. It was a truly rewarding experience that accelerated my growth both professionally and personally.
