About

From the Curious Mind of...

I am a writer/director hailing from Seattle, Washington, currently based in Los Angeles. I have experience helping students through their writing as a Writing Center Coach at ArtCenter College of Design, have worked in the marketing division of ArtCenter as a social media assistant, and have experience working on fast-paced, low-budget productions as a Director, 1st Assistant Director, Script Supervisor, and Production Assistant. I am also the co-founder of The Writer’s Room, a student-led screenwriting club that is meant to simulate a real TV writer’s room. I take my work seriously, whether it be crafting personal, contemporary stories about relevant issues, or contributing my own ideas in a team setting.

I am not afraid to discuss harsh realities in our society, whether it be the substance abuse epidemic in America, or the current ongoing far-right pull happening in our youth, I will always examine these issues through the lens of a well-crafted story, staying true to my characters and the situations they find themselves in. I am not comfortable simply doing what everyone else is doing. Rather, I try and set myself apart from the crowd both in terms of quality and originality. For me, it’s not about the recognition, or the chance at “making it,” it will always be about the art. If the art is not honest, vulnerable, and the best it can be, then I have not done my job as a storyteller.
