I'm a versatile filmmaker, writer, and digital content creator with a career that doesn't sit in one lane — filmmaking, writing, IT, and nonprofit operations all show up in my work.

I create immersive, thoughtful, and accessible visual and written content. Across productions I've worked as a producer, screenwriter, casting director, director, production designer, cinematographer, and editor. I understand the power of narrative storytelling and use it to entertain, inform, and engage.

Whatever the format — a short film, a script, or a page of copy — the job is the same: make it land.
