Creative Video Projects
For me, video production is the ultimate creative outlet. What started as a hobby for my own amusement has grown into a deep expertise in the Adobe Creative Suite. I use Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition to bring my personal projects to life. I take particular pride in capturing the Iowa State University Cyclone Football ‘Varsity’ Marching Band through cinematography, producing, and the final process of video editing. I simply love the process of turning raw footage into something that entertains and captures a moment in time.

The Forever True Day Basketball Exhibition is my most ambitious project thus far.
I produced, directed, created the graphics, animations, statistics, and did play-by-play for the cherry on top. This was an effort to bring viewers enjoyment as band members partake in a thrilling “once in a lifetime” basketball game.
The 2024 season through the eyes of the ISUCF’V’MB
A love letter to the marching band and the 2024 Iowa State football season that was posted on the ISUCF’V’MB Instagram page. My most emotionally charged project as I encompassed all the highs and lows of the season. This project was entirely in After Effects, as I turned each Pop-Tarts Polaroid into a 3D object to create a more immersive experience for the viewer.
Skit Project
The Drum Major
Written and directed by me, this three-part skit was made for the ISUCF’V’MB end-of-season banquet. My strongest cinematic project to date, this project required me to push my creative abilities even further than before. Inspired by Matt Reeves' "The Batman," The Drum Major follows a man driven to madness as he tries to discover the identity of a social media admin. A three-part act with a surprising twist.
Internship Project
The Wellabe Experience
For my 2024 summer internship at Wellabe, I managed the interns for the summer intern capstone project. My group ultimately wanted a dramatic but light-hearted capture of their day-to-day life at work. While also encompassing their time at the company and the advice or learning experience they gained.
I developed the writing, interviewing, shooting, graphics, animations, and editing for this three-month project.
Class Projects
How to Be a Super Fan
For my final project, I opted for a humorous satirical video aimed at creating the next generation of sports fans like myself.
Back from Cali
One of my projects was to create a music video for a song from my favorite artist's self-titled debut album, 'Slash.' Here is my artistic interpretation of "Back from Cali" by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy.
Video Edits for Social Media
These four videos were quick edits posted to a social media page I manage. These videos are geared towards the ISUCF’V’MB and Iowa State Cyclone football fans.
