Communications & Social Media Manager

Digital & Media

A creative, outdoor enthusiast, and social justice advocate, I thrive at the intersection of storytelling, adventure, and inclusion. I'm a cinematographer, photographer, and well versed in editing and social media marketing. Being behind a camera, especially while outside or in the water is where you are likely to find me. 

I am looking to find work in the surf and outdoor adventure industries.
