Who I Am & Why I Tell Stories?
When I fully committed to pursue filmmaking just last year, I knew this was what I wanted: to tell the real stories of people.
Filmmaking has taught me to watch, to listen, and to let stories unfold with patience and care.
Whether crafting a long-form documentary or a small creative piece, I aim to make work that lingers. Something honest, thoughtful, and true to the human experience.
