ABOUT

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to work in the field of sports. While it didn't take long to realize I wasn't going to make it as an athlete myself, I quickly recognized other opportunities that would keep me close to the playing fields. That avenue was through creative content. 

 

I began truly immersing myself in the field as a student at The University of Scranton, where I started doing radio and TV covering local sports. After graduating in 2015 with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications, I worked at a couple local newspapers as a "journalist." After two years, I decided to head back home to Seton Hall Prep High School in West Orange, NJ, where I volunteered to cover sports and create content for their YouTube page and social media channels. 

​

My content created enough of a buzz that The Prep took a chance and named me their Director of Digital Media, and we haven't looked back since. I create content for the school full time, covering both athletic and academic ventures through creative content like video highlights, spotlights and features, mini documentaries, and, most recently, photography. 

​

On the side, I work as a real estate agent for Keller Williams Prosperity Realty in Wayne, NJ, where I've been fortunate enough to expand my expertise in content to help advertise homes I list for sale. All of this experience - in some shape or form - has led me here, where I want to build a website to showcase all of my content for anyone to enjoy. 

​

I love creating content for people because it's a rewarding experience to put art together - whether it be through videography or photography - for people who I know will cherish memories through it. That's special to me, and it's the main reason why I want to expand and make myself available for anyone who is looking for work in this field.
