About Me

Personal Story:

From a young age, I was captivated by the power of visual storytelling. Watching my father’s work as a film producer inspired me to explore how stories can connect people across borders and backgrounds. That spark led me to pick up a camera and start editing, first out of curiosity, then with intention.

Over the past nine years, I’ve shaped my craft through hands-on experience leading high school broadcasts, directing short films, and editing content for brands, athletes, and creative startups. Film became more than just a passion. It became the way I understood people, emotion, and the world.

Skills and Expertise:

Unique Selling Proposition (USP):

What sets me apart is my ability to combine technical precision with emotional storytelling. Whether it’s a short film or a branded TikTok, I bring clarity, consistency, and intention to every frame always aiming to create something that resonates long after it’s watched.

Short Films/ YouTube Projects

Read (5-Minute Short Film)

I shot and edited this short video for our school's video festival. I used a T8i camera with a 35mm lens to get a low aperture and cinematic look, as well as a monopod. I used Adobe After Effects to edit this short film. The short film is about a man who must get over a girl he previously loved.

The Chase 2 (2-Minute Short Film)

This short video was part of a KCBY special feature, where I acted and handled all editing. Filmed with a drone, T7i, and GoPro Hero 8, it continues a previous chase involving a stolen Apple Watch. The twist reveals that my character never placed the watch in the bag instead, it stayed in his pocket the entire time.

My Candy (1-Minute Short Film)

I wrote, shot, directed, and edited this short film for LMU Film and Television. I utilized a T8i camera with a 35mm lens to get a low aperture and a cinematic appearance, as well as a monopod. I edited this short film with Adobe After Effects. The short film is about a child who has to decide whether to give a child Halloween candy or eat it himself, which he eventually does.

1Vision Contest (Extra Gum Advertisement)

I acted and filmed a promo for a film contest. We finished second in the contest. The camera we used was a T7i with an E-image tripod. The advertisement depicts two men taking "my character's" bags. I soon trail them down and try to get my backpack. They soon attempted to attack me in an elevator. I exit the elevator, beating them both. I then pull out my most valued property. A piece of extra gum.
