Nice to meet you! I specialize in videography and storytelling through film. Filmmaking has always been a part of my life. As a kid, I would dream up stories and excitedly bring my friends and sisters into the production. Using my parents’ phone I would bring my characters to life and from there my love of video-making only grew. Whether it's a documentary or a story set in a distant galaxy, film has always had the unique power to bring individuals together revealing the layers of humanity. Through stories, we change the world and show our love for one another. I aim to produce unique films that push the boundaries of storytelling while captivating people's feelings and experiences.
