how i got to where i am

I am a filmmaker specializing in branded documentaries.

Since 2022, I’ve worked professionally in video production and direction.

Previously, I spent two years as an editorial assistant, brand writer, and brand photojournalist.

Before that, I studied journalism and public relations in graduate school.

And before all of this, I grew tall, painted, sang, and discovered my desire to be a storyteller.
