With over 12 years of experience in the entertainment industry, I am a versatile & creative entrepreneur who specializes in fashion, film, and sports. I am passionate about capturing & sharing compelling stories that showcase the beauty, diversity, & emotion of life. I value collaboration, innovation & quality in my work as I strive to deliver exceptional results with every project I become involved with.
I have worked for various brands & individuals in the entertainment industry, ranging from beauty & swimsuit companies, to skateboarders, to major combat sporting events in Sweden & the USA.
I grew myself in the fashion industry as a respected set hairstylist, being represented nationally by Wilhelmina Talent after being in the industry for only 2 years. I have worked with Charli Baltimore, Tyra Banks, Rihanna, Becca Cosmetics, Kosas Cosmetics, & more.
As a photographer I have done behind the scenes shooting for films, portrait shoots for actors/models/DJs & proudly as a ringside combat sport photographer working with some of the biggest names in the industry including Golden Boy Promotions and with boxing trainer Robert Alvarez. I have a love for cinematic feeling images & documentary-style narratives that capture the essence of my subjects.
As a freelance filmmaker, I have produced and directed short films, commercials & social media content using my skills on set to enhance the visual appeal of all the projects I pursue. I have worked on film sets as an associate producer, casting director, hair and makeup department lead & with my vast experience on sets, can offer expertise in almost any production situation from start to finish.
I am passionate about working to help develop other creatives in the pursuit of their own creative, entrepreneurial endeavors as well as building strong creative communities to support them. I believe that creatives will lead the way in the coming years as AI technology grows to take over more & more jobs. I am an advocate for educating our youth in more updated ways in a culture that has not updated it's education style of teaching in too many years in order to accommodate this ever changing technological shift in our world today.
Finally, I am also searching for volunteer opportunities to help communities develop and grow stronger through education & support on a humanitarian level. Traveling has moved me to see the world from a much larger perspective, making me deeply interested in giving back as much as I can to build better societies & contribute to environmental efforts worldwide.
