About

In college, I was always working on film projects on and off campus with friends. It was a passion that I had had since I got a video camera for my birthday in 6th grade. I didn't feel like the normal path was for me - I wanted to make things. Today, I'm the co-founder of Pangea: a platform to help talent find contract work - specifically contracts with long-term growth potential. We've entered a new era with the widespread desire to incorporate remote work and the ubiquity of freelancing. With Pangea, you can work on your terms and use contracting as a way to get in the door
