Fun Facts

I love to cook and have ambitions of owning my own restaurant someday. I am extremely spiritual and loving and kind yet inclusive and open to all ideologies. I am a freelance artist specializing in filmmaking, photography, and painting (large, abstract, mixed media). I can solve a rubik's cube in under a minute. I want to move to Hawaii someday. I am visiting Jerusalem this summer for the first time! I wonder, often, why it is so hard (and expensive) to procure an organic artichoke.

About Me

I am a 25 years old and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Philosophy and English in 2014. I also took 5 mathematics courses and 2 economics courses. I love to write and have a daily artistic practice where I wake up at 4am and write until 7am, working diligently on a book of cinematic, philosophical prose poetry. I have been involved with the YMCA Leaders Club in the past and hope to continue to inspire and teach others by drawing on such leadership.

Experience

As a member of the YMCA Leaders Club, I taught various classes on group dynamics, organizational leadership, health, exercise and wellbeing and volunteering with young children (ages 5-13). I also organized leadership rallies (300+ attendees) and served on the marketing committee to help promote these events. I was a counselor at the annual Blue Ridge Leadership School and have also worked in customer service for 5 years, so I deeply understand the art of silence, education, and expression.

Approach

I approach every session as a unique opportunity for both parties to grow and develop. I am very passionate about the subject matter and try to fit my teaching method to the particular student. Some days this may involve more hands-on learning, other days more lecture based instruction, and sometimes something more experimental. I am very patient and constantly come up with innovative ways to ensure the student is not left behind or confused or bored in any way, but always having fun.

I have worked as a freelance artist for over a year now. I have completed 5 short films as director, editor, writer, producer, cinematographer, sound designer, and production designer.

I understand the arts very deeply and the overlaps between them all. I was also briefly enrolled in the MFA program for film production at DePaul University Film School (top 20 ranking) before deciding the degree did not warrant the 100,000$ price tag. Since then I have been thriving as an individual artist in NYC, Chicago, and Denver.
