• Founder, Writer, Director, On-Screen Talent
    Denver, CO — 2024, returning 2025

    In 2024, I founded Mile High Motion Pictures as a vehicle for independent storytelling, launching the company with the short film National Velvet, an original social-media horror piece created for the Denver 48-Hour Film Festival. The film follows a content creator whose online presence spirals into danger when a parasocial fan shows up at their home.

    I led the project from concept to final cut—writing the script, directing the shoot, and performing on-screen—while also coordinating the production timeline, managing a compact cast and crew, and liaising with distributors and festival representatives. I oversaw every phase, from pre-production planning to post-production editing and festival submission.

    National Velvet premiered locally in Denver and marked the start of an annual production tradition, with a new entry set to debut at the 2025 festival.

  • Founder & Facilitator
    Monterey, CA — While serving in the United States Marine Corps

    While stationed in Monterey and studying at the Defense Language Institute, I founded The Presidio Forum—an independent LLC designed to serve as an anonymous reporting and communication platform for active-duty service members. The initiative provided a secure channel for Marines and other military personnel to voice concerns about living and working conditions that were being overlooked or dismissed through traditional chains of command.

    I developed and managed a confidential online portal where submissions were collected, vetted, and—when appropriate—elevated to leadership with a layer of external visibility. The platform empowered enlisted voices and brought a degree of accountability to internal processes, with the aim of driving cultural and operational improvement.

    The project briefly expanded into a digital newsletter distributed on base, offering updates, aggregated concerns, and resources for navigating difficult command dynamics—before being voluntarily sunset to preserve the anonymity and integrity of the contributors.

  • Content Creator, Marketing Liaison, Video Producer
    Colorado — Ongoing

    As a freelance creative, I’ve provided marketing support and content development for small businesses across Colorado through a mix of on-site production, off-site editing, and full campaign planning.

    I led a full-scale marketing push for CO Hard Surfaces, a concrete beautification company based in Colorado’s central mountain region, producing video and photo assets to showcase their transformation work across residential and commercial properties. The campaign emphasized visual storytelling and boosted their local digital presence.

    In Centennial, I developed a series of short-form, vertical social videos for It’s Coffee, a family-owned café. These clips captured the daily energy and culture of the business, optimized for platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok, and helped establish an approachable, community-focused identity.

    I also served as a marketing liaison and point of contact for Encore Professional Disc Jockeys, helping coordinate branding efforts and client-facing communication. Across all roles, I bridged creative production with marketing strategy, tailoring each project to the client’s voice and audience.

  • Facilities & AV Maintenance Technician
    2022 – Present

    As a Facilities and AV Maintenance Technician at one of the highest-performing Topgolf venues in the country, I manage the day-to-day operations and long-term reliability of both technical systems and physical infrastructure. My role spans the installation and maintenance of venue-wide audio/visual systems—including displays, speakers, and lighting arrays—as well as structural and facilities upkeep.

    I troubleshoot hardware and software issues in real time, ensuring that guest-facing systems stay online in a high-traffic, fast-paced environment. I’ve also led emergency repairs, coordinated with national vendors for large-scale installs, and provided training and shift leadership for incoming technicians. This position has deepened my skillset in technical problem-solving, systems coordination, and operational consistency—especially under pressure.
