Hello, and welcome to my e-portfolio! I'm a second-year student at Temple University, majoring in Media Studies & Production, with a concentration in Production. In addition to this, I am working towards a minor in Visual Journalism. I'm an honors student and currently maintain a 4.0 GPA. I made the Dean's List in both the Fall Semester of 2024 and the Fall/Spring Semesters of 2025. I'm involved in several campus clubs, including the Honors Student Forum, TheVibe with TUTV (where I serve as director and technical director), Temple Talk (technical director), and Temple Update. I'm also a peer mentor through the Mentorship Collective, where I advise freshmen on questions about Temple and college in general; I assist them in adjusting to college life.
I work at the post-production lab at Temple University, where I assist students with Adobe applications like Premiere when needed and manage the front desk. Additionally, I serve as an Academic Coach at the Nancy & Donald Resnick Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes. There, I help advise student-athletes academically to help them maintain good standing. On top of this, I work as an Event Server at Cescaphe, where I improve on skills like time management and teamwork.
I was born and raised in Hazlet, New Jersey, which is on the Jersey Shore coastline. I got my high school diploma from Raritan High School in 2024. I have an amazing family made up of my mom, dad, older sister, and cat! On top of making short films with my friends, I enjoy reading, watching movies, shopping, listening to music, and volunteering.
Relevant Experience Outside of Temple University
My high school had a dense Television Production program and held awards every year, where I've won 7 awards (inquire for more details). I took 4 years of Television Production classes (from TV1 to TV4 Honors) and two years of Television Broadcasting courses. I was also in a "Global Communications" club where my peers and I streamed live events such as graduations, plays, concerts, football games, and more on YouTube. I have also photographed/filmed dance recitals (under the supervision of my teachers from high school) and "Sweet 16" celebrations.
