About Me
Ever since I was little, I have always aspired to be a storyteller. Whether it be in front of a computer keyboard or behind a video camera, it has always been my interest to tell visually compelling stories that speak to the masses.
Other than academics, I have spent every free moment during my high school and college years nurturing my creative abilities. I took advantage of every opportunity to hone my writing, visual and creative technical skills. As a result, I have garnered a sense of dedication and appreciation for being in such an environment.
In addition, with a history of working in various geographical locations, I have been able to efficiently work in many diverse areas while also adapting to new surroundings. My drive and determination are steadfast and I hope to achieve great things.
