I've always been astounded by the power of motion pictures. They can inspire, touch, affect, empower, and move. Film is a medium that can reach people of all cultures around the world. Its messages can be universal. Movies have also had a profound personal affect on me and my life. This is why I have chosen film as my career. I started my journey at De Anza College in Cupertino, CA. There I learned the basic history of the medium and earned an A.A. in Liberal Arts. In 2004, I transferred to Academy of Art University in the wonderfully diverse city of San Francisco where I earned a BFA in Motion Pictures & Television. I have spent the last four years learning the craft and art of filmmaking, and I strive to make movies that affect people in the same way that my favorite films have affected me.
