About

With a Bachelor's degree in Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services from Towson University, I have honed my skills in creative direction and film production. As the Lead Filmmaker at Mulbah, I oversee the creative direction and production of film projects. Previously, I served as a Camera Operator/DP at Root Branch Media Group and as a Film Director at Cloud Theory, where I directed film projects and oversaw the creative vision. My experience also includes roles as a Video Producer at American Income Life: AO, Cinematographer at Beautiful Destinations, and Videographer and Photographer at The 5TH. These experiences have allowed me to capture high-quality cinematic images, produce engaging content, and create visual content through videography and photography. My passion for storytelling and visual arts continues to drive my career in the film industry.
