About

I am a video producer with over a decade of experience in scriptwriting, ideating, shooting, and editing brand videos, social media content creation, graphic design, and photography. Over the last four years, I have developed as a filmmaker, taking on roles such as screenwriter, director, producer, assistant director, and script supervisor. I have a passion for telling compelling stories through various video formats, from short films and music videos to brand content.

I have been fortunate to work with both non-profits and commercial entities including the Chicago Abortion Fund and Saffronart, where I oversaw video production and editorial management. My work has won awards such as the Best Student Film Jury Award at the 2025 DadaSaheb Phalke Film Festival, and I am constantly honing my craft while teaching at Columbia College Chicago.
