ABOUT ME
Hi! I have an obsession with film as I'm a filmmaker and have been for my entire adult life. I've worked in the industry for over 8 years. I'd like to think of myself as thoughtful and considerate. I've lived in 3 countries (US, Canada, Japan) so far and just recently got back to the states and looking to plant myself back here. I enjoy trying new things, and pushing myself to live life to the fullest.
Always looking to make new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Going skydiving. I thought I was going to die, but had the most exhilarating time of my life.
Shooting my short film and Tokyo was a life-changer for me. Just realizing what we're all capable of if we persevere and never give up! It truly taught me that if there's a will, there's always a way!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always down to share my knowledge of film production!
