Born and raised in Los Angeles, I've always had a keen eye for creativity. Early on, I always wanted a camera in my hands, putting on plays and musical theatre, shooting still photography, or making videos with my stuffed animals and best friends. That led me to audition and be accepted to the number one high school for the arts in the United States, LACHSA, and eventually to Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, where I'm now studying Television, Radio & Film with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

At Newhouse, I've continued honing my craft as a filmmaker. I now have a portfolio of 10+ original films and have contributed to 35+ student productions as a director, producer, AD, camera operator, and more. I'm a content creation team member on Live From Studio B, Syracuse's live weekly sketch comedy broadcast, where I rotate through production roles every week. I also photograph events and assignments for the Newhouse Student News Team, and I teach yoga sculpt at the Barnes Center because I love creating spaces where people feel capable and encouraged.

My creative and entrepreneurial instincts have always pushed me beyond the screen. I've been designing clothes on my home sewing machine, hunting for thrift and retro styles throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles and turning them into something new. In the summer of 2023, I spent three weeks in Paris at Parsons studying fashion design, and that trip became the spark for Girl Yard, my own fashion brand selling bags, clothing, and accessories that has since grown to $2,000+ in sales.

Now I'm channeling that same entrepreneurial energy into Contessa Management, a talent management company I co-founded with my partner Layla. Contessa is built for the creator economy, we help emerging talent build brands, strategy, and presence that last beyond one viral moment. I lead the creative vision, shaping visual identity, tone, and storytelling for every brand we work with. I'm also the lead producer on our first client's podcast, Sorry, I've Been M.I.A., currently in production.

In my free time, when I'm not making something, I'm volunteering with dog rescues, finding the perfect coffee shop, practicing yoga, or spending time with the people I love most.

I'm still finding my own story and style within the creative world of storytelling.

It's a story that has to be told.
