Confronting the truths of death, love, and sexuality

Originally, I was drawn to documentary filmmaking, hungry to confront the unfiltered realities of the universal topics that most people avoid, such as death, love, and sexuality. I dove into these conversations, seeking the wisdom hidden in each story of those I interviewed.
I soon realized that beneath the surface, everyone wrestles with the same core wounds. Hardship acts as a compass, steering us toward healing, and through that healing, we let go of feeling like a victim and discover that our pain has been quietly guiding us home to ourselves. Life is a process of peeling away the expectations placed upon us until our truest selves finally step into the light. Only then do we find true peace and fulfillment.
Now, as I pursue my MFA in Film and Television at SCAD, I have uncovered a new passion for screenwriting and am eager to direct my first self-written narrative film.

My work invites people to think differently about their lives, not just one aspect but introspective about who they are. When we think deeply about who we are, we add more meaning to our lives.
