About me.
How I Started Out.
I've watched movies with my family since adolescence. My dad made short films with his students. Inspired, I decided to give filmmaking a try during high school. What stood out to me about filmmaking is how I got to get closer to the people I was working around. Today, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Cinema and Media Arts from Biola University and continue to strive for community building and entertaining my audience.
What Now?
I recently worked as a stage production director at a church in Downtown Los Angeles, a freelance athletics videographer for a sports influencer, and soon, as a social media marketing director for a Los Angeles based community-building instagram page. I’ve been stretching my skills into different fields of work to see what it is I do best and how I can positively impact the people around me with my work. I still seek learning experiences and work opportunities that peak my interest so that further into my career I won’t have any regrets of not trying something.
How Did I Get Here?
Throughout my life, I’ve made close friendships and relationships with anyone that comes my way. Each job I worked after graduating college came through a network of friends. I always make sure to thank each and every one of them when I get the chance. I work hard to do the best job that I can do so that they feel safe when recommending me. I ensure hard work and loyalty to anyone who gives me an opportunity to be better than I was yesterday.
In My Spare Time.
I’m continuing to maintain strong relationships and also make an effort to make new friends. I also like to spend my time at the gym and find new music while I’m there. I stay connected to my friends that I haven’t seen in a decade through video games. Fun fact, I'm a struggle meal chef, coming up with all kinds of random recipes to help me through the day.
Experience
Most of my experience stems from start-ups and nonprofits. Because of this, I have improved in a setting where humility and frugality are important.
