About me
I have always been fascinated by TV and Film because of the universal power and intrigue a good story has over people. Although the outcome is merely content, seeing an audience become enamoured and emotionally invested in the fictional worlds and journeys of characters shows a human need to escape from the complexities of modern reality (especially now).
Being a part of this phenomenon is what attracts me to the industry and if a show/movie is able to present a unique and innovative perspective that transcends cultural boundaries with dramatic poignancy and unbridled hilarity, then count me in. I feel a great personal satisfaction in knowing that I could be partially responsible in making someone on the other side of the world lose themselves or feel something momentarily in a creative project that I have worked on.
My career trajectory is fluid at the moment as I am open to all opportunities but eventually I want to produce television and film. I have been honing my storytelling skills through development and script-reading experience while also contributing my efforts to production, distribution, post-production, and broadcasting. I ultimately want to evolve into a highly versatile operator that is able to provide an effective creative, logistical, and financial impact on the production process from inception to delivery.
