What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and growth in film production.

I am a dedicated film producer, writer, and director with hands-on experience in short-form and independent productions. My journey in film began at 14, ignited by a drama class assignment that led me from writing and performing to ultimately producing. I excel in directing and creative vision, project management, and team leadership, guiding projects from concept to completion.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with diverse teams, enhancing my skills in creative problem-solving and communication. I strive to immerse audiences in new realms, delivering meaningful messages through film. My work includes developing original series, coordinating production schedules, and optimizing workflows to ensure timely project delivery.
