Hi! I am Destiny Meares, a 2025 Coe College graduate with a degree in film studies and a minor in creative writing. I have spent the last four years dedicating to developing my craft and make my short film that was my senior thesis. College was the experience I needed to pursue my dream in filmmaking.

I’m open to any job, I just want to learn and enjoy being on set!

I have worked in multiple fields within the recent years. Barista, sales associate, stage manager for the plays put on at my college, waitress, etc. I am putting my artist resume below!
