I am a filmmaker drawn to stories that sit at the intersection of the personal and the political. My documentary The Whole Wide City, which examines the impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on children in my county, premiered at the 2025 Woodstock Film Festival. The film reflects my interest in how policy decisions reverberate at the local level, particularly in the lives of young people who are often overlooked in broader political conversations.

Alongside documentary work, I write narrative films that explore inequality through speculative and character-driven lenses. My original short screenplay Self-Care, set in a dystopian future where access to formal medical care is reserved for the wealthy, interrogates the commodification of survival. The screenplay received the Gil International Screenwriting Award for Best High School Screenplay and was named a finalist for Best Student Screenplay at both the Replay International Film Festival and the New York International Film Awards.

Across both mediums, my work is unified by a focus on economic and political systems and the subtle, often invisible ways they shape human behavior and relationships. I am particularly interested in telling stories that ask not only how people survive within these systems, but how they make meaning, identity, and connection despite them.
