Video Portfolio
👋 Hi!
Outside of my work life, I enjoy creating educational videos, short films, tutorials, and creative videos to learn more about various topics of interest.
I enjoy using these videos as a way to gain more expertise in tech tools, conservation-related subjects, creative art videos, and life growth.
I am also constantly looking for opportunities to learn more about filmmaking. If you have a video project that I could assist with, please reach out! I would love to learn and gain more experience.
Below are some of my videos from the past few years.
