As a professional choreographer and dancer, my filmmaking style is influenced by movement, humanity, and meticulous perfection. I started my dance training at the age of seven at Ballet Academy East, eventually attending LaGuardia High School at the same time. As a budding choreographer at the time, I didn't realize that I was also growing as a storyteller. After dancing and choreographing with the Richmond Ballet and the Nashville Ballet, I attended Sarah Lawrence College, where I studied filmmaking and writing. During my first film class my professor chose me to represent my whole class in the Teacher's Selects Screening, for a dance film I wrote, directed, and choreographed. During my year abroad, I studied at Wadham College, University of Oxford, where I received one on one tutelage in writing. I then went on to be selected for the Sarah Lawrence Dance Film Festival and to win the 2024 Sarah Lawrence Student Film Award. As a writer, I also won the Lori Hertz berg Prize for Creativity. During my time at Sarah Lawrence, I directed and co-produced The Rokmil, a pilot for a docuseries about a speakeasy cannabis lounge in Harlem. As director, I wrote questions and interviewed each character, steering the story towards our themes, but giving my interviewees the freedom to tell their own story. This project involved a small run and gun crew who filmed action packed sequences during intense fitness classes. Since I was running such a small crew, I also operated a camera. After production finished, I co-edited the project, crafting a gripping thirty minute story with the hours of footage we had. After having graduated, I have done projects for multiple organizations like The New York Aikikai, where as a one man crew, I filmed eight classes a day for a week with two cameras. I then edited this footage, delivering an elevated cinematic product that went above and beyond what the dojo was used to. Notably, I was entrusted to shoot Doshu's class, the equivalent of the Pope of the Aikido world, the most respected figure of the whole artform. He was visiting from Japan for a historic class of four hundred people. After having seen the video of his class, he was incredibly pleased. As a writer and storyteller, I view every project as it's own world with own customs and cultures to respect. It's through my discipline as a dancer and this dedication to a given project's inner artistry that allows me to bring out a film's true potential, surpassing expectations.…As a professional choreographer and dancer, my filmmaking style is influenced by movement, humanity, and meticulous perfection.
