Creative. Collaborative. Committed.
That’s the mindset I bring to every production.
I’m a senior at the University of Miami, majoring in Motion Picture Production with a passion for visual storytelling from script to screen. My most recent project, At Will, is a short film I wrote, directed, and produced. Now in post-production, it challenged me to lead a crew, work with professional talent, and manage every phase of production.
My experience spans narrative, documentary, and branded content. I’ve worked as a PA on a documentary short with Entertainment to Affect Change (E2AC), and on the camera crew of an independent feature film. I've also produced freelance content for local brands and trained as a studio production crew member at UMTV, gaining hands-on experience in camera ops, audio, and live directing.
Because I believe great filmmakers must understand the entire storytelling process, not just what happens on set, I served as a post-production intern at Therapy Studios in Los Angeles. Stepping beyond my behind-the-camera focus, I immersed myself in editorial, sound, color, and visual effects workflows, learning from talented editors, mixers, colorists, and VFX artists on a wide range of projects. Supporting daily studio operations deepened my understanding of how stories are shaped in post-production to become a thoughtful filmmaker.
I’m proficient with Blackmagic, Alexa Mini, and Lumix cameras and edit in Davinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and create motion graphics in After Effects. I also work with Avid Pro Tools for sound and post. Whether I’m behind the camera, in the editing bay, or assisting on set, I’m always ready to learn and contribute.
