The Pouring Pages

● At The Pouring Pages, I wear many hats—bookseller, curator, and passionate storyteller. As the founder, I’ve built this online bookstore with a vision to create a cozy, immersive literary space where book lovers can discover their next favorite read. From selecting a carefully curated collection of books to designing unique literary-themed merchandise and experiences, I ensure every detail reflects a love for storytelling. ● Beyond the books, I manage the ins and outs of operations, marketing, and community engagement, all while working toward opening our brick-and-mortar location. Whether it’s launching special editions, organizing virtual events, or crafting book-inspired cocktails, I love bringing stories to life in unexpected ways. The Pouring Pages isn’t just a bookstore—it’s a labor of love, and I’m thrilled to share it with fellow readers.

Filmmaking

● As a filmmaker, I am dedicated to bringing compelling stories to life through a blend of creativity, strategic planning, and hands-on production expertise. From script development to final edits, I oversee every stage of the filmmaking process, ensuring a seamless and visually engaging result. ● I have experience managing budgets, coordinating production schedules, and leading crews on both independent and collaborative projects. Whether directing, producing, or handling post-production, I thrive in fast-paced environments, problem-solving on the fly to bring a vision to the screen. ● My passion for storytelling drives me to create meaningful, immersive narratives that resonate with audiences.

Photography

● As a passionate photographer, I specialize in capturing authentic moments that tell a story. Whether it’s event photography, portrait sessions, or behind-the-scenes coverage, I bring a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for visual storytelling. I thrive in fast-paced environments, ensuring every shot reflects the atmosphere and emotion of the moment. ● From directing shoots to editing final images, I handle the entire creative process with precision and artistry. ● My experience in both digital and film photography allows me to adapt to different styles and client needs, delivering high-quality visuals that make lasting impressions.
