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 how SNAP cuts in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" affect 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 formal medical care is reserved for the wealthy, interrogates the commodification of survival. The screenplay has been recognized by eight festivals and competitions. It won Best Student Screenwriter at the Cambridge Short Film Festival and Best High School Screenplay at the Gil International Screenwriting Award. It was also a finalist at the New York International Film Awards, Scriptmatix Student Filmmaker Spotlight II, and the Student Filmmaker Spotlight; a nominee for Best Student Screenplay at Script Awards Los Angeles; a quarterfinalist at the Replay International Film Festival; and an Official Selection at the London International Student Film Festival.

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.
