filmmaker/videographer
Every moment—whether big, small, or in between—contributes to the unique narrative of your life. Each person has a story worth sharing, and it would be an honor to help tell yours.
starting out
When I was eight, my family moved to the Dominican Republic (DR) to serve as missionaries. There, we founded a bilingual Christian school as a tool for discipleship, and I had the privilege of working alongside my parents in daily ministry. It was during this time, immersed in the culture and community, that I developed a passion for videography. I wanted to capture the heart and soul of the beautiful Dominican people and share with others the incredible experience I was fortunate to be a part of. With my iPod 4, which at the time had a built-in camera, I began documenting and sharing the work we were doing in the DR.
Pursuing wedding videography was never something I initially considered, but my love for storytelling drew me to it. That shift came when two fellow missionaries in the DR asked me to film their wedding. In capturing their day, I realized I wasn't just documenting an event—I was telling the story of their relationship. This experience was a turning point for me, and I quickly fell in love with the art of wedding videography. It became clear that my true passion lay in creating films that not only showcase a couple's day but also celebrate the essence of their love story.
living my design
After graduating from high school (shout-out to LUOA), I moved to Lynchburg, VA, to pursue a degree in Biblical Studies at Liberty University. While I had a deep passion for studying the Bible and an ever-growing interest in videography, I wasn’t sure how the two could align. Fortunately, Liberty is a vibrant community, particularly for couples getting married, and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to continue developing my videography skills throughout my time as a student—eventually transitioning this passion into a full-time career.
As I delved deeper into my studies, I found that my love for people and my desire to tell their stories grew in tandem. I began to understand that every individual is made in the image of God, with a unique design and purpose.
Design—the distinct way in which God has sovereignly created and shaped each person.
I am committed to living out my own design, using my gifts and passions in a way that honors God and serves others. Videography has become a powerful tool for me to do just that—capturing the beauty of human stories while honoring the Lord in all that I do.
