I am a passionate filmmaker with over a decade of experience creating, writing, editing, and acting in self-produced short films. I thrive in collaborative environments on set, taking on multiple roles—from directing and cinematography to recording sound—and I have mentored and co-led large crews to deliver on time and on budget. I’m eager to grow in media development, production, and post-production in entry-level roles while continuing to learn from experienced teammates. I’m currently pursuing a BFA in Film Production (Directing) at Chapman University and have three years of hands-on on-set experience across student films, music videos, and advertisements. I’m excited to contribute to new projects with a proactive, team-first approach and a strong foundation in fundraising, permits, and scheduling.
