What I'm looking for

I seek creative roles in film/video production and community arts that allow me to direct, produce, curate, and grow collaborative projects focused on storytelling and wellbeing.

I am a multidisciplinary filmmaker, writer, and artist with experience in narrative and experimental video, festival submissions, and community event production. I wrote, directed, and co-produced the sci‑fi short ABI (accepted to NewFilmmakers NY 2019), create original video art screened at festivals, and have published film writing for FilmInquiry and HuffPost.

I bring hands‑on production skills across preproduction, direction, camera, sound and post (Final Cut X, iMovie), plus community outreach and coordination experience organizing shows, screenings and festival relations. I am committed to health‑informed creative practice and collaborative projects that blend film, visual art and wellness themes.
