I believe that art, in any of its forms, is a powerful tool that can generate change on a personal, local and global level.
I am a storyteller (artist/writer/filmmaker) and educator from Philadelphia. I write, produce, direct, film, and edit my short films. My work explores various topics—the human condition, family dynamics, relationships, nostalgia, connection to nature, and mental and physical health—in an attempt to restore connections in a fractured world. My short films have won awards in national and international film festivals. I have been published in a variety of literary magazines. In 2020 I published my children’s book Like The Sun Holds The Moon: A Children’s Book. My book, Like The Sun Holds The Moon: A Novel was published during the lunar eclipse of May 2022 by Little Creek Press. My newest children’s book (TRASH CRAB) was published by Little Creek Press on Earth Day 2023.
