What I'm looking for

I’m looking to work in film, art, and graphic design productions where collaboration matters. I want opportunities to direct, write, and support cast and crew through clear communication, creative problem solving, and a culture grounded in connection, inclusion, safety, and community.

I’m a film-maker and scriptwriter who directs, produces, and serves as cinematographer and assistant director on student-led short films. I mediate disagreements in creative vision, improve communication between cast and crew, and write scripts for commercials, short films, television pilots, and feature films.

I bring creative and intuitive problem solving, initiative, and strong interpersonal relations to every production—supporting peers, cast, and crew with efficient communication and a collaborative mindset. I’m driven by connection, creativity, inclusion, safety, and community, and I use my Adobe Creative Cloud skills to edit, sound mix, and design professional, polished work.
