I graduated from Washburn University in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in mass media with an emphasis in contemporary journalism and a minor in history. While at Washburn, I served in various capacities for the Washburn Review, including as a writer and managing editor where I led the team to produce our weekly printed edition, ensuring deadlines were met and quality was maintained. Around the same time, I started writing for SpaceFlight Insider and eventually served as its managing editor where I helped grow the website's traffic from under 120K to roughly 300K monthly viewers. I am currently creating content about the International Space Station and Artemis Moon program for Orbital Velocity. While I started my professional journey as a writer, Orbital Velocity is pushing me to acquire all sorts of new skills, including video editing, graphic design, visual storytelling, animation, and so much more!

I have been a singer/songwriter my entire life. My mother, however, was the only videographer out of an entire polynesian communtiy. Somewhere between touring Europe on a music contract at 17 and marrying my best friend and having 4 children, I have become my mother and love videography. Started out with weddings and made a killing and then editing was taking all of my time. I have now transitioned into more of what I can direct and create. Currently I have been helping more with small businesses, with social media presence and social media advertisements. I create "shorts" conent as well as docustyle film. I consider myself the greatest teammate of all time. I love sports and I love winning. You'd have to be pretty bad at this not to be able to create your own game winning shot every time. Most videographers film. I capture. Hope to hear from you soon!
