About Me.
Ever since I was little I have had a die hard passion for sports. You name it, I played it. When I got to the 5th grade the sport that I realized I loved the most was basketball. Throughout middle school and high school I continued my basketball career and I felt that this sport that I love so much had become who I was. Until I got to college where I realized basketball was all I knew. I began to have an identity crisis and let the sport I loved so much determine how I felt about myself, and that's when I found my second passion. Media Production has shown me that there are more things to life than basketball. I appreciate the little things and value the excitement I give others when I am able to portray their story and bring it to life.
