I am a filmmaker, writer, composer, and animator with an interest in playful, compassionate storytelling that challenges systems of oppression. My work has been screened internationally at festivals in Brazil, Germany, Greece, Croatia, the U.K., Australia, India, and South Africa, as well as in festivals across the United States. I graduated with honors from Colorado State University in 2020 with a B.A. in Communication Studies and minors in Sociology, English, and Film Studies. Currently, I attend Syracuse University as an MFA candidate in the Film program. My first-year film, Thine Own Self, has screened at festivals around the world including Animafest Zagreb. In 2021, I was one of five filmmakers selected as a winner of the Gotham Institute’s 2021 Student Showcase sponsored by JetBlue and Focus Features, a success featured in Filmmaker Magazine.
