With over eleven years of public speaking experience and countless hours dedicated to community service, I deeply understand the importance of inspiring positive change and leading with empathy. Everyone has a story, and my passion lies in bringing those stories to life.
Here’s my story.
From a young age, I’ve always been passionate about storytelling. Whether I was playing make-believe, writing, watching countless films, or performing in theater productions, creativity was at the core of everything I did. As soon as I could walk and talk, I wanted to create. At three years old, I appeared in a Bernie and Phyl's commercial, and that marked the beginning of my journey. Since then, I’ve continued acting and writing, and for a time, I also participated in pageants and public speaking. At sixteen, I published a children’s book and expanded my creative pursuits into songwriting and singing.
While I have a deep love for fiction, I feel that my true calling lies in nonfiction storytelling. The energy and excitement of collaborating with other creatives, witnessing a story unfold in real-time, and refining it through post-production is incomparable. My passion for storytelling led me from Boston, Massachusetts to Chapman University to pursue the dream I’ve had since childhood—turning my love for creativity into a lifelong career.
Just before moving to California, I was looking through some childhood keepsakes and found a worksheet I had completed when I was young. The prompt at the top said, “Draw what you would like to be when you grow up,” and I had drawn myself holding a camera, writing, “When I grow up, I will be a director in Hollywood.” Though I don’t know how I knew what a director was at that age or when my fascination with California began, I truly believe that attending Chapman and pursuing a career in film was always what I was meant to do.
