Connection in story. Progress built on artistry. 

Me, in one frame

I know I get goosebumps at the movies. I know images onscreen have power well beyond the theater walls. I know performance in a packed house engenders poignant human connection. It’s electric. It’s palpable. As I continue my studies at Stanford Law, I am continuing to discover how to apply my passion for storytelling as a foundation for leadership in the field of film and media production.

While I aspire to direct and create, I am refining my legal skills to engage with filmmaking on a broader scale, including the business side of production, project development, and corporate administration. To direct a film is to lead a team. To tell a story is to synthesize, analyze, interpret, and produce. To be an artist is to engage in a thorough and unique exploration not only of what it means to be human, but also how we might improve.
