Born and raised in the inner city of Baltimore, I’ve carried with me a relentless determination to rise above my circumstances and turn vision into reality. My passion for filmmaking and visual storytelling was forged through adversity and refined through years of hands-on experience in production, directing, and creative leadership.

Today, I use my lens to elevate untold narratives and bring authentic, purpose-driven stories to life.
