About me

I'm an LA-based cinematographer and video editor looking to make lasting relationships. My journey started off with a webcam built into my mom's laptop. I would go filming short sketches with my brother while lugging around a computer-- we were a sight. Slowly but surely, I became more serious about filmmaking when I took a commercial production class at USC. Ever since, I knew this was the path I wanted to take.

Now after almost a year of freelancing, I've been using a BlackMagic Pocket 4K, a couple cine lenses, and a Zhiyun gimbal. I've shot multiple real estate walkthroughs, short films, music videos, and a couple spec commercials. It's easy to say that my favorite thing about each project is learning on the job and being inspired by the people I meet.

Having taught myself After Effects back in high school, I've had over 5 years to hone my visual effects and editing skills (Premiere). This gave me access to internships that allowed me to work in professional settings where I worked primarily as a post PA and, most recently, assistant editor on feature films.

Besides my passion for film, I enjoy snowboarding, skiing, travelling, finding hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and scuba diving.
