Weaving the threads of adversity into the fabric of creativity, I stand as a testament to the transformative power of art and narrative. I am not just a Creative Producer and Art Director; I am a storyteller whose very essence has been forged in the crucible of life's challenges. With each personal battle fought — from auditory processing disorders and significant physical traumas to emotional barriers — I've emerged not just unscathed but empowered, with a depth of empathy and a resolve that breathes life into every frame and pixel I create.

 

My academic pilgrimage at San Francisco State University was both a quest for knowledge and a proving ground for resilience. Achieving a Bachelor and then a Master of Fine Arts in Cinema, I meticulously wove the threads of theory and practice into a tapestry of skill that now adorns my professional endeavors. Courses in fiction filmmaking, animation, and directing were my arena; the Dean's List, a mere checkpoint in a marathon of excellence. These accomplishments are not mere bullet points on a resume, but the foundational stones of a career built on the pursuit of cinematic excellence and narrative depth.

 

My brand is etched with the hallmarks of this journey — resilience, insight, and ingenuity. Every project is an opportunity to champion mental health, foster healing, and advocate for the unheard. My craft is my crusade, aiming to shatter barriers, defy stereotypes, and cultivate an inclusive milieu where diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated.

 

In the convergence of my academic rigor and life's trials, I find my voice as an artist. It is a voice that echoes in the halls of empathy, reverberates with the pulse of innovation, and sings with the clarity of understanding. It is a voice that declares:

 

"From the ashes of adversity, I sculpt narratives of hope, healing, and humanity."
