Portfolio Home
Dedicated and highly organized filmmaker and photographer with a specialization in documentary, narrative, and experimental genres. I bring strong coordination, resourcefulness, and a wide range of technical skill to productions. Known for my ability to capture crisp visuals and combine them with dynamic sound design, I am eagerly pursuing roles in film production, coordination, direction, editing, and screenwriting, as well as opportunities to expand portfolio in photography, specifically for live events and studio portraiture.
