About Me:

I’m Rhianna and I’m a digital media creator based in the Chattanooga, TN area.

I have a background in live news broadcasting, directing shows and working on behind-the-scenes audio/visuals. I also specialize in photography, videography, graphic design, and social media content planning.

I’m always looking for opportunities to make content that people can connect to, whether it’s putting on live streams, shooting photo or video content, engaging users on social media, or connecting in other meaningful ways,
