Hello! Nice to meet you :)

Growing up, I was always a really shy kid, so much so that I was sent to speech therapy as an attempt to “bring me out of my shell.” Spoiler alert: that didn’t work.

​

It wasn’t until I started working part-time jobs in high school and college—coaching toddlers in soccer, working concessions at a movie theater, supporting writers at DePaul’s Writing Center, hosting at a restaurant, and helping with Santa photos—that I discovered my love and the joy of connecting with people. Each job acted as its own type of exposure therapy, teaching me not only strong communication and problem-solving skills, but also introducing me to a world of stories and perspectives I never would’ve encountered otherwise.

​

That curiosity and love for connecting with others is not only at the heart of everything I do, but is what led me to pursue my BFA in Film and Television Production at DePaul University, where I was able to immerse myself in both the creative and logistical sides of filmmaking. During my undergrad, I worked on over 25 film sets, wrote and directed two of my own projects, held four different internship roles, and even spent three years working at DePaul’s Writing Center as a Peer Tutor and co-facilitator for the Scriptwriting Society.

​

These experiences solidified my desire to work across production, development, and writing, helping stories reach their full potential while also creating my own projects. I’m drawn to character-driven stories that explore relationships, identity, and the complexities of life, and I thrive on helping those stories come to life—whether it's working with writers to polish scripts while honoring each individual’s unique voice, managing the logistics of a production to ensure everything runs smoothly, or leading a team to bring my own projects to life. I strive to keep the joy and love for connecting with others at the center of everything I do, creating meaningful stories that resonate with audiences and fostering collaborative relationships with the creatives I’m lucky enough to work alongside.
