It all begins with a story…

Here’s mine:

From a young age, I fell in love with cameras. I always wanted to take photos of everyone around me and tell their stories. At-home videos were my thing. This love was the uprooting of my passion for media production. In high school, I auditioned for our TV program. This was a 2-year program that took up 2 blocks of your school day and crossed over into credits for other classes and college credits. It was a very serious program at the high school level and I knew that if I made it into the program I could find my footing in deciding if this passion was something I wanted to pursue as a career. Thankfully, I made it in and had the best 2 years in this program. We ran the program’s Twitter, Youtube, and Instagram accounts delivering news to the school district and community. On top of this, we produced and executed live newscasts every day. We each produced and reported our own news packages and learned all the control room positions of a newsroom. It was great!

I knew that after high school I wanted to pursue this in higher education, and I thought I had it all planned out, until covid hit… I ended up having what feels like to me an atypical college journey. But when I really look and examine my journey it isn’t so unorthodox. I was admitted to a school in Pennsylvania but when the pandemic hit, I decided to resign my admissions and attend community college. I only had 1 in-person class at community college which was black and white film photography and that is what kept my creativity going throughout the darkest days of the pandemic. Also during this community college year since my classes were mostly online, I had a lot of flexibility to work at a local coffee shop and save up money before I transferred to BG my 2nd year. I was blessed with many opportunities in my time in college but here are just 3. I opened my own media production LLC, https://www.kingstoncameras.com/ , I served as the public relations director of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and I worked at a telecommunications center where the sporting games a were broadcasted to ESPN. OK, not to hype myself up anymore but I graduated a year early, so I completed college in 3 years. To me, this all seems it went by so quickly and I cannot believe I graduated.

Upon graduation I followed my dream of moving to Florida and working for Disney and completed a Disney College Program. I worked in Merchandise making magical moments for guests from all around the world in a great big beautiful world filled with tomorrows. This where I found myself and became motivated to build a life down here. Upon completion of my program I accepted a full time position within Disney as a Sales and Solutions video specialist.

I am a dreamer of all the possibilities and stories of tomorrow… Take a look around my site to see my portfolio.
