I am a writer, director, actor, and editor. I love to tell stories of all shapes and sizes but feel especially drawn to dark comedies, noir, and thrillers.
I studied film production and screenwriting at UCLA and UC Berkeley, and have received recognition and awards from the LA Indie Horror Fest, Prague Music Video Awards, and 48 Hr Film Festival. I am passionate about creating work that is immersive, engaging, and unpredictable.
Looking forward to connecting with more folks on this platform!
