About Me

Ever since I can remember, I have always been thinking up new ideas and finding creative ways to bring them to life. As a person who has been pursuing their passions from a young age, I can proudly say that hard work truly counts. I had very humble beginnings, being raised mostly by my single mother, without much money or opportunity. I still could not see myself settling for a career I hated that paid the bills, I knew I could do the world the most good by clawing my way up in what I always gravitated toward - the arts. I grew up between Corona, Queens, New York City (no relation to my last name) and Wheeling, West Virginia and moved to Morgantown, West Virginia for college at West Virginia University. I graduated in May 2024 with a 3.51 gpa and cum laude Latin honors, and a pretty neat hand-decorated graduation cap.

I like to think of my career as one big learning experience that continuously grows with each project and collaboration. I believe we never stop learning and improving at our skills, whatever they may be, and I look forward to opportunities that allow me to grow in ways I never thought possible before. I am also a firm believer in pursing and mastering multiple skills, if they bring you joy, which mine certainly do. And to those who claim you can't be a master of more than one thing, I'd say - a jack of all trades but master of none, is better than the master of one.  Have a look at my past projects, and feel free to reach out with any questions.

I am currently living/based in Morgantown, West Virginia, but am willing and eager to relocate for new opportunities.
