My Story
I tell stories.
As a kid, I squiggled constantly, drew flip book animations, created cartoon monsters, and crafted stories for 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 & led strategy for high-performing brand & marketing campaigns with some of the best 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 creative expression.
