I was born in Savannah, GA, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved everything related to the arts, entertainment, dance, acting, and more. To give you a brief overview of my background: growing up, I loved to sing, dance, and perform. From elementary school through college, I was involved in the band. In high school, I participated in multiple activities such as student government, step team, karate, soccer, and I was a four-year wrestler. I believe my passion for entertainment developed as a child while watching music videos and wrestling.

​

At ages eight and nine, I competed in the Junior Olympics for boxing. From ages 10 to 18, I earned my Black Belt while training in martial arts. In high school, I won multiple wrestling championships and served as team captain for three years. Performing in front of a crowd has always felt natural to me. As I approached the end of my high school journey, I faced a decision: to pursue a music scholarship or a wrestling scholarship. Ultimately, I chose music, primarily due to financial considerations.

​

Throughout college, my major changed several times, but my love for entertainment and being on camera led me to choose Mass Communications as my final major, concentrating on television and radio. During this time, I learned much about video editing, directing, filming, graphic design, and more. Similar to high school, I participated in various organizations and even established the first official hip-hop dance team for my college.

​

In the last few months of college, I interned with CBS, which decided to hire me right after graduation. During this period, I continued to dance, choreographed a few plays, and performed in several productions, solidifying my commitment to a career in entertainment and media. After about a year, I realized that working in news was not for me; I found it rather monotonous and that the company didn’t provide room for growth. So, I took a leap of faith and moved to Atlanta to pursue my media and entertainment goals on a larger scale.

The transition wasn’t easy, and I went through jobs in printing and graphic companies. In 2018, I helped establish The Acting Club of Atlanta. Since becoming a full-time media entrepreneur in 2018, I have assisted multiple companies in managing and developing their social media, consulted brands on media and growth strategies, directed and edited shows and films, and organized, created, and planned major events.

 

Currently, I am pursuing my second degree in Media Studies at the Los Angeles Film School. I am dedicated to using my knowledge and past experiences to help individuals and brands grow while continuing to refine my own brand.
