Growing up around film sets, I developed an early understanding of storytelling through watching my father produce and direct. Being on set and contributing behind the camera gave me a deep appreciation for the collaborative nature of filmmaking and how each element contributes to the final performance.
I have since written multiple short films and directed several projects, continuing to explore character-driven narratives and meaningful themes. My work as a director has been recognized internationally and through student media honors.
Selected Achievements:
• “Just Believe” – screened in 15 countries, 30+ top awards
• “My Guardian Angel” – screened in 9 countries, 17+ top awards to date
• “Beaver Fever” – international screenings, 4 awards to date, Scholastic Art & Gold Key (film)
“My Guardian Angel,” a project especially personal to me, was created in honor of my late best friend. I am currently developing an educational outreach initiative connected to the film for elementary classrooms.
While directing is an important part of my creative work, acting remains my primary focus. Working behind the camera has strengthened my understanding of character, visual storytelling, and collaboration, allowing me to approach performances with greater emotional depth and awareness.
As a filmmaker, I am committed to creating stories that are authentic, impactful, and grounded in human experience.
