I’ve always wanted to be a storyteller, so at a young age, I decided I wanted to work in Hollywood as a writer, videographer and artist in film and TV.

Growing up in Washington, DC, archiving and research was practically second nature. After receiving my B.A. in film and literature at Bennington College in 2016, and my Master’s of Fine Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design in 2021, I made the move to Los Angeles.

However, instead of making films, I wrote about films, working as the Los Angeles movie reviewer and correspondent for CBR.com in 2021. For the next five years, I found myself seated across notable actors, directors, writers, producers and artists, conducting interviews.

I grew to love the stories of other people’s lives and experiences. It wasn’t until I was asked by my own family to interview my uncle for his 80th birthday, that I realized everyone had a remarkable story to tell—but no way to save it on their own.

This experience humbled me. Celebrities weren’t the only people interesting enough to be interviewed and remembered. My own friends, family, and neighbors had interesting lives to share. And every day, as people pass on, they take their life stories – and their family’s history and memories – with them. With attention spans and memories getting shorter each day, that struck me as a terrible tragedy.

What also struck me is that many creative people are leaving their passion projects unrealized, for lack of help. Between feeling the need to preserve others’ stories, and aid people with their creative visions, I decided to become a freelance interviewer and videographer.

I look forward to preserving your stories, immortalizing your loved ones, and lending a hand to any creative in need of extra help.
