Discover Top Freelancers in Athens, Georgia, USA

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and a Minor in Jazz Studies. I was raised in Charlotte, North Carolina by a family full of creatives. My father is a world-renowned jazz pianist and my mother is an exceptional photographer. I have always found ways to express myself creatively, in many different forms and facets. In recent years I have had the opportunity to direct multiple music videos, music direct musicals for the Thalian Association in Wilmington, compose music for numerous short films and videos, write and record original music varying in genres, and live-stream a variety of national acts. Each opportunity has called for a completely different set of skills, but I am grateful to have worn as many hats as I have.
