Editor's Notes
Hello, This is my story.
I have always loved to tell stories; the first movie that I ever saw in the theaters was The Jungle Book.
This movie featured compelling characters and a theme that I found to be captivating.
The experience that I had at the theater that day helped to create a love of film that has only grown over time.
Sometimes the stories I told would be about things that I witnessed and sometimes not. I loved leaving people wondering whether or not I was telling them about an actual occurrence
Or maybe just creating pure fiction
I am learning a lot about how things are done using new technology and digital equipment.
In order to gain some hands on experience I have been moonlighting as a P.A. when the opportunity arises. Although sometimes my schedule makes things challenging I refuse to give up and have no doubt that I can and will succeed.
I have heard often that if you love to do your job it would not seem like a job. I love creating things and doing this type of work is extremely fulfilling for me.
I decided to take this course of study in order to enhance my story telling skills and learn how to express myself in new ways.
That is why I am now a student of Digital Cinematography attending Full Sail University
This field is one in which my life experiences will undoubtedly come in handy, my adventurous life has given me insight into many different things it will give me a way to hopefully show how crazy things can get or how beautiful they can become.
Being the oldest sibling out of nine children I have always had a lot of responsibilities, growing up I often resented some of them but having to deal with those issues amongst many others made me who I am today.
I love to fix things whether they are electronic or mechanical. I like to figure out how they work as well as think of ways to make them better.
I also enjoy using computers I like the fact that they can do so many different things it excites me to be able to combine my love of movies and television with my love of technology in general to hopefully make programs that people will enjoy watching.
I am constantly learning new things
I believe that the more things I know about different subjects the more I will be able to immerse my audience in whatever I am creating.
I study art and design,
As well as science and technology; sometimes they give me inspiration.
I think that it is important to have a vast pool of knowledge to draw from.
I am driven by my passion to create, and my goal is to excel in everything that I take on
I have held many different jobs in my life I have done l work as an electrician, computer repair technician camp councilor, telemarketer, canvasser, as well as worked in retail.
I have recently been working on video projects utilizing the new skills that I have picked up as a student at Full Sail. I plan on creating books movies and television shows in order to entertain, educate and inform people.
Success to me means achieving my dream of reaching people through various mediums, whether it is movies, TV shows, books or documentaries I will not be satisfied until I succeed in bringing my visions to life and have others see what I have created.
Hard work, dedication combined with the relentless pursuit of perfection; I make diamonds out of pressure.
