Digital Storytelling Course, Texas Christian University, 2022. A personal story. It's important to mention that this course I took in college ignited my passion for video editing. Every project fueled me in a different way - and each time I completed one - I wanted another, more challenging story to tell. I'm sharing this particular project to give you a sense of who I am and how I create.

Expanded Cinema, John Cabot University, Rome, Italy, 2022. The goal of the project was to explore film outside of the traditional space. I compiled footage, words, and sounds I heard from around the city to create this projection piece. I set up in a narrow, dark hallway - which forced viewers to be within an inclosed space as they experienced the projection. This was in direct relation to the content of the work, as I placed myself in the center of a crowd - and so form and content began to merge. For traditional film storytelling, this typically takes place within the frame, as the story is the form of what takes place within the images. This project forced me to re-address this relationship with openness and creativity.

Kappa Kappa Gamma Bid Day 2021, Texas Christian University. After collaborating with a professional videographer who captured the footage, I took on the task of compiling and editing the content to craft the final video. The goal was to create a piece that encapsulates the group's energy and encourage potential new members to go through the recruitment process.

Digital Storytelling, Texas Christian University, 2022. The challenge was to build a story out of an augmented reality - so I created the "Campus Dance." Featured on the Bob Schieffer College of Communication Instagram account, @tcuschieffer.​
