Born into a small family with no ties to the film industry, I discovered my passion for filmmaking in high school through a video production class, followed by film history, where I became fascinated with the origins of cinema. This inspired me to pursue a degree in Communication Arts, with a double emphasis in Film Studies and Theatre.

I’ve always gravitated toward the creative arts, developing my specialty skills in videography and video editing with hopes of one day directing. In my final semester of college in Spring 2020, I secured a contract position as a videographer and was set to begin full-time work as a video editor. But then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Both opportunities vanished upon graduation, and I spent the next nine months unemployed. My first post-college job was as a part-time janitor.

Despite the instability and hardship of the years that followed, I never stopped imagining stories. Film, TV, and video games had helped me through the toughest times in my life, and I wanted to create that type of story that inspires people, the troubles I have faced in recent years combined with fantasy elements. That realization led me to screenwriting. I bought Final Draft, revisited old lessons, and began writing in earnest.

Over time, screenwriting became my new passion. I continue to hone my craft, developing scripts and dreaming of the day my first show or feature coming to life. I’m especially drawn to the fantasy genre inspired by my favorite trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, and I enjoy crafting original TV pilots influenced by other beloved fantasy films and series.
