I am a self-taught artist; my mediums are photography and directing. My pieces have been acquired by places like the Whitney Museum, and I've auctioned my work internationally with Phillips—though, my artwork hanging on my Caribbean grandmother's wall holds more value to me than any museum exhibit. I've collaborated with some of the world's largest brands, on Times Square billboards, storefronts, TV, TIME Magazine and more. I've also had the privilege of telling my story through lectures at universities across the United States. This is actually my second career, and the best part about my job? Meeting new people, and telling their stories through each new project. I'm represented by Apostrophe Reps. I hope to meet you soon.

I've worked on all genres of productions like feature films, short films, episodic shows, dramas, horrors, documentaries and reality shows. I always do everything I can to make it easier for post, like recording room tone, ambiances, wild lines, production sound effects and foley when no one has any lines. I also keep all my takes really well organized by naming them accordingly and can even send you a sound report at the end of the day depending on how fast you shoot since I usually take notes in between takes when there is time. I have 6 lavaliers microphones, an MKH 70 microphone at the end of my boom and an Zoom F8-8 channel mixer/recorder.
