My education at ESU taught me about various levels of video production as well as some web design and basic coding, photography and photo editing, and writing creative nonfiction and fiction. At the Savannah College of Art & Design I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Film and Television, where I specialised in cinematography skills as well as writing for the screen. At SCAD, I was a Teacher's Assistant for the Steadicam Class, so I helped co-instruct the students on proper technique utilizing specialised camera gear. I also worked on the side as a developmental script editor, giving notes to students on their screenplays before they moved on to their thesis films or submitting their work to festivals and competitions. Outside of school I've found a number of ways to teach. That includes being a guest speaker at networking events, leading discussions on the industry I primarily work in (the film industry). That also includes teaching in-person workshops at my local library in the Dekalb Library System. As far as my tutoring technique is concerned, I like to ask a student where they stand currently on a subject, and build towards better understanding of that subject so they can succeed. Sometimes that requires reviewing the basics so we can make sure there is a strong foundation to build upon. Outside of academia, I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, as well as going hiking and kayaking!
