My Story
I love storytelling.
As a kid, I squiggled constantly, drew flip book animations, and told stories to my younger siblings. My science fair projects looked spectacular.
There's nothing more magical than my ideas springing to life -- storytelling, design, videos, photography, or writing. It feeds my soul.
I've been fortunate enough to have some triumphs on this topsy-turvy majestic universe.
I optioned a show to E! where it went to pilot, optioned other shows to production companies, won awards for film, placed in advanced rounds in high-profile screenwriting contests, and showcased a film in a dozen festivals worldwide.
I've directed creative for high-performing brand & marketing campaigns with some of the best strategists & marketers in the business.
It's my dream to use my talents and experience for good. I aim to make a positive impact on the world through my creative expression.
