“Creative” has always been used to describe me. Throughout my career, education, childhood; I needed to make my imagination a reality. I began this mission with music. After years of tormenting my parents, I finally got piano lessons. By the next year I was submitting compositions for competition. My ambitions and admiration for music continued to expand across genres and mediums.

I received my BA in Film and Media Arts from the University of Utah in May of 2025. There I studied film making, score composing, and audio engineering. In college I began to branch out from sound design and foley art into leading roles on sets. Writing and producing my first short film The Playlist in 2022.

In the Summer of 2025, I interned with AntiFragile Music in New York. Researched new independent artists, designed promos for clients, and assisted in business collaborations. Working administration and management roles offered a new perspective to the artistic industry, and gaining a deeper love for creative positions.

My first love is the sound department. The power noise can have in a scene, how it determines the tone, and what it means to be silent – remains a core value in my creations and what I always come back to as my taste expands. That being said, new flowers have bloomed, perspectives alter. My projects are a vast garden that changes with time; sprouting new concepts that develop into something greater. I am a storyteller, and will be “creative” everyday of my life.


Women Angry – Writer/Director/Choreographer/Narrator/Dancer/Editor
A style of film known as “screen dance” is taking off in Utah. Meant to use movement and expressions to tell a story. I found this poem by Laurel Sibanda and my imagination took over. I wanted to convey “ugly” emotions in a beautiful style. Rage and sadness are the most moving feelings.
The Playlist – Writer/Director/Composer
My college film debut, a no dialog fictional short. The idea sprung to me as this happens every time I put on my own headphones. I wanted to take on as many genres that I could and push my creative abilities.
My Trip to the Moon – Sound Designer/Additional voices
​A reimagining of Georges Melies A Trip to the Moon (1902). When I watched the film, I tried to think of the most outrageous possibilities with sound and dialog. The stars reminded me of angry neighbors shouting from their windows. The aliens sounded like Chuck Jones’ Tasmanian Devil. From the random connections, my trip to the moon was created
His Kingdom Will Have No End – Actor/AD/Composer
What started as a fun, no budget, short film turned into one of my favorite projects. My great friend, Elisa Diaz, wanted to convey her experience with religious trauma in an artistic way. I was able to apply my own experience when composing the score.
