I grew up in Los Angeles, CA and studied Theater Arts at the California Institute of the Arts, graduating in 2013.



As a filmmaker, my intention is to serve a character's narrative in the most creative way possible. The narrative of a character does not always coexist with the plot of the film or play.

There is a degree of exploring those conflicts, vulnerabilities, and dilemmas with visuals, light, sound, and movement, and this often lends a fuller picture of who these characters are.

​

Characters construct multiple spaces to deal with their troubles, and make sense of their world. Giving these spaces as much tactility as possible allows each character (and actor) a sense of security and safety. It also gives permission for audiences to reach out and connect. 

​

I not only want to create a full space for the character to live in, but a full space for my cast and crew to work and create in. I feel that is one of many responsibilities a director has, and one I take seriously on each project.

As a director, I am a leader and guide, I am an explorer of worlds, an advocate for characters, and a compass of dreams.
