I have never walked a straight path.
In middle school, I wrote letters for international human and environmental campaigns.
In high school, I kickstarted Atlanta's first webseries and created an LGBTQ YouTube collab channel.
In college, I made my own computer animation degree.
Post-college, I learned Vipassana meditation in Bodhgaya, India and trekked the Himalayas.
Now, I make movies for a living and fight for the future of our planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In middle school, I wrote a petition to help gypsies get out of lead-poisoned United Nations camps. The campaign was a success, and the gypsies moved to better housing.
