ABOUT ME
I am a BFA Film graduate from Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. As a filmmaker, I am passionate about telling grounded stories in fresh and exciting ways. With all the tools of modern filmmaking at our fingertips, I’ve learned that the most challenging (and rewarding) part of the process is aligning creative ambition with real-world limitations. I work actively as a screenwriter, director, 1st AD, and producer on narrative films and commercials. Being on-set is my favorite part of the process, collaborating with other passionate creatives to bring stories to life makes the long hours worth it.
