RESUME:

I am a firm believer that my work should speak for myself. I highly encourage you to visit the Videos page while you're here, but here's a little bit about myself:

 

I have been involved in various levels of broadcasting and media production ever since middle school when I first began working for North Penn Television, the North Penn School District's television station. I learned lots of the essentials of the industry very early on, and was able to do a part-time career study in my senior year producing a newscast for the station.

​

I began attending Messiah University in the Fall of 2019 as a Communication major. Upon arriving to campus, I was immediately put in charge of overseeing all video content for YBTV, the campus television station. Whether it's reporting, writing, producing, directing, or shooting video, I spent 15-20 hours a week working on our newscast. I was also able to conceive and produce a thirty-minute late night variety show for the station entitled "YB Tonight" in my junior year.

​

In October of 2022, I began working for Lancaster, PA station WGAL as a photographer. I have learned a significant amount since beginning, and have been able to apply my course education to the work I do in the real world.

 

I have also taken numerous courses to assist in my career, such as Electronic Newsgathering & Field Production, Television Production, Newswriting, and Advanced Editing & Effects.

​

When I am not in school, I volunteer at Immanuel Church of the Nazarene in Lansdale, P.A. operating cameras and hosting on-air for the live streamed church services. I also enjoy travelling with my family whenever I can.
