Growing up, a film career felt out of reach, a dream - knowing well that I was in for a gamble of a career, but I knew deep down it would have been a disservice to myself if I did not try. Not trying felt like a betrayal of the person I am and who I was becoming: someone who tries their best

​

Not sure where this fiery ethic and headstrong personality of mine came from, but perhaps it is in the way I hold deep admiration and adoration for my grandparents, how they have built their careers from nothing to bring my Mother, sister, and me to the United States.

​

I bring a sentimental touch to each project that I partake in, from my writing to my photos, and the Art Department. In Art Department, I create worlds that are alive and enriched in a character's history. As a multidisciplinary artist, I use various media to help directors bring their creative vision to life. 

​

As a director, I explore human relationships and the complexities of childhood and memory. I hold a personal connection to many of my stories, but my goal is to tell stories of others in ways they want to be highlighted, shining light on underrepresented communities and niche cultures. I linger on stillness, long silences, and mundaneness of the world around us. That said, I am an artist that is adaptable, detail-oriented, and mendable whose best interest is in elevating a project to fit its creative needs. If that means unworldly flares, neon colors and chevron patterns (please don't ask for this), let's do it! I remain curious and eager. I am a always a collaborator and a learner at heart.​​​

​

Outside of creating art, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, and spending time with friends, and family.
