ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring filmmaker and videographer from Manhattan, New York. My passion for film began in middle school, initially as an actor, but I quickly developed an interest in the behind-the-scenes roles. I attended a high school focused on film and marketing, which laid the groundwork for my media production skills. 

At Syracuse University, I was actively involved in the production department, creating diverse content, including vertical media for official social platforms and serving as a production assistant on independent documentaries. I also held the role of Assistant Video Director for Renegade Magazine, a student-run organization. I enjoy collaborating with other creatives and learning from those around me.
