I'm an avid cineaste and globetrotter who combines my creative skills in media production with my passion for storytelling, film, food and travel. With a multicultural background and a global perspective developed throughout years of traveling across borders, I hope to use film as a medium to bridge cultural gaps and make the world more connected. A big believer in taking initiative, I’m no stranger to trailblazing where there’s no established path. Despite studying at a college where film isn’t offered as a major, I’ve continuously pursued this passion by customizing my college curriculum, founding the first and only film centered organization on campus, completed semesters abroad to broaden my knowledge in film across cultures. I've also taken on multiple film internships with media departments and documentary production companies to develop and hone my production skills, earning the opportunity to work with Academy Award winning and Academy Award nominated directors.
