About Me
Before stepping behind the camera, I spent over a decade working as an emergency room nurse—often in leadership roles as a charge nurse. Those years were defined by high-pressure decisions, team leadership, and caring for people in their most vulnerable moments.
That experience now shapes how I work as a director and filmmaker.
Nursing taught me how to listen first, stay calm in chaos, and understand what truly matters beneath the surface. I bring those same principles into storytelling—creating films that are intentional, human-centered, and rooted in trust. Whether directing a commercial, documentary, or branded story, my approach is grounded in empathy, efficient systems, clear communication, and a deep respect for the people and stories I’m entrusted with.
At its core, my work is about honoring real moments and translating them into visuals that connect.
