About Me
Editor and Director from Orange County CA. I’m a former child actor who has acted in such things as Despicable Me, Falling Skies (TNT), a short film with Jane Lynch, and an infomercial with John Cleese. I went on to study Dramatic Writing (with a focus in TV writing) and Producing at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and double majored in History. I’ve worked on shows at ABC and Showtime, for the NBA, and Martin Scorsese.
Currently I am a documentary film student at UCLA, where I’ve made films about an Iranian American Cowboy, a NASA Mars simulation, and the activist who overturned a famous theme park’s ban on same sex dancing. I am passionate about telling stories about Southern California queer and immigrant communities.
My background in voice acting leads me to bring a larger than life flare to my filmmaking and editing. I have experience with candid smiling. ——————————>
