I spent four years in South Africa, another four in Zimbabwe and three in Guatemala before returning to the States to start High School. \u00a0I then spent my high school years in Fairfax, VA right outside of Washington, DC before moving to New York to study Television and Film at Hofstra University. \u00a0At Hofstra I received a Bachelor of Science in the field of Television and Film production and graduated Summa Cum Laude after being named the Television\/Film student of the year in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing university I immediately moved to Harare, Zimbabwe, to spend more time in a place that I loved during childhood. \u00a0My passion for the outdoors, travel, adventure and media were reconfirmed and strengthened during the 16 months I spent living and working in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite pastimes include finding good food, fishing, hiking, exercise, photography and planning my next trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wsb-nav-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000336775069\" class=\"wsb-nav nav_theme nav-text-left nav-horizontal nav-btn-right wsb-navigation-rendered-top-level-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wsb-element-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000336775072\" class=\"wsb-element-text\" data-type=\"element\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:48%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><div id=\"wsb-element-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000336775069\" class=\"wsb-element-navigation\" data-type=\"element\">\n<div id=\"wsb-nav-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000336775069\" class=\"wsb-nav nav_theme nav-text-left nav-horizontal nav-btn-right wsb-navigation-rendered-top-level-container\">\n<p>The\u00a0childhood I spent in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Guatemala implanted in me a curiosity and thirst for knowledge that motivates my work to this day. \u00a0Media production is the perfect melding of the things that my childhood gave me passion for; meeting interesting people, travel, story telling and technology. \u00a0Travel in particular I am eager to continue, and I will jump at any opportunity that would put me abroad with a camera in my hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wsb-element-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000336775072\" class=\"wsb-element-text\" data-type=\"element\">\n<div class=\"txt \">\n<p>The aim of this website is to act as a portfolio for my work and to display the level and variety of craft\u00a0I enjoy and am capable of.<\/p>\n<p>Have a proposition for me? \u00a0There&#8217;s no job too small, nor too big.
