What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities in film directing and production where I can write, lead crews, and grow through hands-on set work—collaborating with strong mentors to deliver high-quality storytelling.

I’m a student studying Film and Television at New York University, with experience building films from script to set. I focus on directing with clarity—translating story intent into strong performances and high-quality media.

Alongside filmmaking, I work as a one-on-one tutor and academic support coach, designing personalized lessons and tracking progress. That coaching mindset helps me lead scenes and communicate expectations with purpose.

I’ve produced and directed across short-form work, including serving as producer and videographer for TEDxYouth@Meadows and writing and directing the psychological thriller short “July, Again,” which won at the Los Angeles Independent Women’s Film Awards. In other projects, I wrote and directed “Gazed” and directed scenes during a summer intensive using an industry-grade workflow and an ARRI ALEXA.

I bring hands-on production leadership, script and shot-level decision-making, and a collaborative approach to every set. I’m especially drawn to stories with strong characters and meaningful themes, delivered with professional care.
