What are your passions? I love creating! Videography, photography, audio recording, designing, writing, directing, really anything that requires creative input to bring something new to life. I also love improvising, acting, and traveling all over the country playing loud music with my band.

What do you do / what are you working on? I work as a TV/Video editor for a marketing agency, but I’ve also been mixing music, writing scripts and taking a lot of photos lately!

If money was no object what would you be doing? Traveling all over the world, eating way too much vegan food!

Someone / something that changed your life: “Yes and” is a term used in improv comedy, which basically means you accept the “reality” that is provided to you when you are improvising in a scene, and then add onto that reality with additional information to further establish the scene. Once I learned this guideline, I realized the similarities to real life. When you’re faced with reality, you can’t just refuse the truth. You must accept it and continue moving forward.

What’s the best piece of advice that someone has given you? “Too many people don’t give a shit, so don’t be one of them.”

What are you reading/listening to/watching right now? I have been watching a lot of Masterclasses on storytelling and comedy writing lately, & I am going to re-order one of my favorite books by Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night.

Something people don’t know about your pet: He surprisingly learns news tricks very quickly! He’s also a mama’s boy, so I’m priority #3 whenever my partner is home, with priority #2 being baby carrots.
