Originally from St. Louis Missouri I was always playing with cameras as a child. This led me to being the lead photographer for my newspaper and yearbook in high school. I managed to make money selling my own work at flea markets and craft shows in the area. Then I came to LA where I have been crafting my photography and video skills, learning everything from working at a production company to being on set of every type of film set or on location. I love working with teams or being out in the field as a one-man-band. I have had the opportunity to be either a photographer, videographer, cam op, DP or AC on many different projects that I'm extremely proud of. I've shot content for Venmo, Alka Seltzer, Insomniac Events, American Express, Refinery29 x Adidas, APEX, GLO, Ben and Jerry's, Lady Gaga's Haus Labs, Funny or Die, Buzzfeed, Disney, Nickelodeon, The Horse Network, OM Digital with clients such as Loreal, MLB, Dior, Laura Mercier, MLB, The Academy, HBO, and many others.

I don't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a camera. I've been doing creative storytelling through the medium of video and photo all my life. From shooting, editing and burning DVD's for my sister's dance recital at age 12 to filming events put on by billionaires, and crafting my own web-series and films in between. I have acquired a diverse set of skills. I've worked on professional film sets and student productions for UCLA and USC film school graduate programs. I've attended private labs for storytellers and edited content that created +7figures of profit for the client. Being true to myself as a behind the scenes person is how I prefer to be, as invisible as possible. However, I enjoy the spotlight too; catch my fun youtube channel to see what I find entertaining. I'd truly love an opportunity to be a part of your project. Anything or everything I do, I do it amazing.

I am an Indigenous multimedia documentarian born and raised on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. To date, I have spoken at USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, UCLA, California State Polytechnic University, Pitzer College, Cal Arts, UC-San Diego, UC-Riverside, UC-Irvine, Occidental College, Northwestern University and University of Oregon. My work presents personal stories of contemporary urban Indians in photography and film to commemorate the legacy of the Indian Relocation program, a U.S. federal program enacted to assimilate American Indians in the 1950s. My overall mission is to combat the idea of the static, stereotypical Indian portrayed so pervasively in all media. I want people to know that Indians are many nations with many stories. My photography portraits stand against prevalent stereotypes of American Indians in popular culture. Having grown up on a tribal reservation in Arizona my experience of Indian life was not reflected in popular culture. My work is to produce authentic portraits and stories of the persistence of Indian life in contemporary contexts. As a storyteller, I develops photographic narratives that illustrate the real stories of American Indians within their communities. My multimedia work reflects the perseverance of American Indian cultural identities today. I wish to produce living portraits of American Indians reflected through an indigenous aesthetic lens. I work as a talent consultant for various television networks. I have professionally produced five award winning films for the Southern California Indian Center’s InterTribal Entertainment multimedia program, co-created film workshops for Native youth, produced PSA’s for Fox Studio’s American Indian Summer Institute program, and co-hosted “Bringing the Circle Together,” a monthly showcase of Indigenous documentaries at the Japanese American National Museum National Center for Preservation of Democracy Tateuchi Forum in Los Angeles. Received a BA in American Indian Studies and Film Television from UCLA.
