CURRENT MISSION

Leave my mark.

ABOUT ME

From Chicago to South America to Europe and back to the States. Living life to the fullest!

Last August, I resigned from a job in advertising to set off on an epic, unscripted adventure around the world while pursuing all that matters most - cycling, language, film, music and art - to name a few. I spent 7 months trekking through South America with the plan to learn a new language, land and people, as well as to carry out a series of small projects.

Mid-way through the journey, I decided to jump continents and head to Europe to continue my adventure with the hopes of finding an opportunity in film - my ultimate passion. While there, I joined the crew of the Sundance London Film Festival serving as an operations assistant runner. It was an immediate immersion into the world of film festivals and as a result, I walked away having made memorable connections with filmmakers, fellow volunteers and getting to see an array of independent films.

Now that I'm back in the states, am looking to pursue a path in film while exploring a bit of my own country. After a couple months spent in Chicago, will be making my way to Utah to link up with the folks at Sundance!

PHILOSOPHY

It's never too late to be what you might have been. It's never too late to begin. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
