HAVE A STORY YOU
I'm looking to work with athletes, teams and brands who believe there's more to stories than just highlights. The best stories aren't just seen they're felt. They come from discipline, adversity, and purpose. Committed to telling authentic stories? I'd love to connect!

PROJECT
SPORTS DOCUMENTARY
What started as a short interview project for a college course evolved into something bigger than myself. Licata follows the life, running, and faith of Ithaca College Track & Field runner Christopher Licata as he confronts the greatest challenge of his life: a collapsed lung. Told through intimate interviews, family archival photos, and training footage I was able to explore the fragile link between performance and self-worth in the world of competitive sports teaching us all that we can be so much more than the labels that are assigned to us.
