A KINEs STORY
I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up a camera back in seventh grade, but I thank God every day that I did. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a lifelong passion for photography and filmmaking. I was the kid who bought DVDs just to watch the behind-the-scenes features and hear directors break down their vision. That’s where it clicked: the connection between still imagery and motion. I started wondering—how could my photographs tell stories beyond a single frame?
From that moment on, I never stopped creating. All through middle and high school, I explored visual storytelling, which eventually led me to my dream school, Emerson College. At Emerson, I was immersed in my own creative world until I began collaborating with like-minded artists. Those collaborations sparked projects that pushed my craft further than I imagined.
While building a foundation in directing, I continued growing my brand as a freelance photographer, specializing in lifestyle, commercial, and editorial work. I strive to capture everyday moments with purpose and intention. I’m grateful for every opportunity, every collaborator, and every challenge that’s helped shape my journey.
Most of all, I owe everything to the support, sacrifices, and memory of my late mother. Her strength continues to inspire me every step of the way. And with that, I look ahead - excited for what’s still to come!
