I love to tell stories. I began writing and directing short films about chickens when I was fifteen. I spent ninth grade figuring out how to resurrect my grandpa’s film camera and interviewing my friends to make documentaries about them.
Growing up in the Los Angeles area, I was privileged to have access to a wealth of after-school art programs and summer art camps that directed my drive to create; with the freedom of being homeschooled, I was able to spend my time learning about whatever I wanted to, so I chose to learn a bit of everything. Volcanology, slam poetry, the Russian monarchy, and stop motion animation — the list is eccentric and endless. I was eventually drawn to Biola for the Torrey Honors College, where my love of learning and telling stories has flourished.
Choosing a career path has only been difficult because I love too many things. However, my current postgraduate pipe dream is to open a farmers market stand with my little brother and pursue my master’s degree in expedition leadership.
