I’m a filmmaker and aspiring Director of Photography passionate about telling stories through striking visuals and authentic perspectives. My directorial debut, SWING, has been selected for three film festivals, including the 2025 Newark International Film Festival, where I served as both Director and Cinematographer.My experience spans across commercials, music videos, and short films, with internships at Biscuit Filmworks and Rugged Entertainment in Los Angeles, where I gained exposure to the full production pipeline from pre-production development and creative calls to on-set execution and post-production workflows. In addition to production, I’m passionate about mentorship and education. I’ve developed and taught original courses in creative writing for TV & film and creative photography for pre-college students, helping young artists bring their visions to life through scripts, pitch decks, and collaborative projects.
I’ve had the opportunity to work on a range of professional sets, from commercials to branded content and short films, each of which deepened my knowledge of collaboration, efficiency, and creative problem-solving.At Biscuit Filmworks (Los Angeles), I supported commercial and music video productions where I observed directors and DPs at work, gaining a firsthand look at the creative process behind high-level campaigns. From pre-production calls to post-production workflows, I saw how every stage contributes to the final product, while also contributing as a Set and Office Production Assistant on large-scale shoots for brands like Wayfair and the Stanley Cup.With Shallowflare Pictures, I worked as a Camera PA on a Samsung/Android spot, which sharpened my technical and organizational skills in assisting with camera prep, equipment setup, and department coordination.Through the Newark One-Stop Program, I worked as a Film Production Intern on multiple music video sets, where I rotated between camera, lighting, and grip support. These hands-on roles gave me the chance to learn the pace of production while contributing to the team’s creative goals.Across all of these experiences, I’ve found that I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments, where adaptability, focus, and a strong work ethic are essential. Every set reinforced not only my technical knowledge but also my passion for visual storytelling and my commitment to building a career as a cinematographer and director.
