ABOUT ME
Filmmaker . Director . Editor . Storyteller

Born and raised in New Jersey, I am a Los Angeles-based film industry professional. I am a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where I earned a B.F.A. in Film and Television Production, with a double minor in Business of Entertainment, Media and Technology and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies.
I currently work as an assistant to a senior partner in the Motion Picture Literary department at talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME). While at WME, I previously worked for the Co-Head of International Sales in WME Independent and for a partner in the Talent department.
Prior to joining WME, I worked as Assistant to the President at On Location, a company that specializes in premium experiences and hospitality at live events, and in my role, I also supported the CFO, COO, and EVP, Olympics and Paralympics.
While in college, I interned at Imagine Entertainment & Television, Untitled Entertainment, and Gunpowder & Sky. I was hired by Hooked to direct a narrative short film, which was posted on their streaming platform, and I simultaneously worked freelance editing commercials and social media content. I also worked on campus as a Video Specialist for NYU Teaching and Learning in the IT Department.
Creatively, I am a film director, producer, writer, actress, and editor. I write, produce, direct, and edit my own narrative films. Among my most recently recognized films are He Made His Bed (2024), my NYU thesis film, as well as Driving Her Away (2021), Appetite (2020), and Because I Love Him (2019). My films have screened in various film festivals, including Chelsea Film Festival and Garden State Film Festival. I am now working on my debut feature.
I have also produced several short films, including Polly written and directed by Mateo Obrador, and most recently, The Gates written by Emma Chase and directed by Jared Rushanan.
My set experience includes work as an assistant director, script supervisor, and production assistant on student sets. Professionally, I worked as a health & safety PA and set PA. I also have post-production experience as an editor for narrative films, documentaries, and commercials.
Since 2024, I have been training in acting at Beverly Hills Playhouse in Los Angeles. While at Tisch, I took several acting classes in addition to the coursework for my major and minors. Those courses include Performance Strategies, Actor’s Craft I, and Acting for the Camera.
I began acting during the summer of 2016, when I participated in US Performing Arts Camps' WebTV program at Georgetown University. While there, I was taught by a group of industry professionals, including an actor, director, and screenwriter, and I worked with several other students to create a web series. We developed, wrote, produced, filmed, and acted in the project, which we then marketed before releasing the finished series on YouTube.
I participated in the WebTV program at Georgetown again during the summer of 2017. That same summer, I also traveled to Stanford University to take part in US Performing Arts' Acting for the Camera program, at which I was instructed by the same actor and director who taught the WebTV program at Georgetown.
I began filmmaking when I was in high school. While in high school, I completed various digital video production courses, which were some of my favorite classes. I was also a member of Studio 462, my high school’s production club. The club wrote articles, covered sporting events, created shows, and managed its website. I worked on several commercials for the club, and during my senior year, I acted as one of the vice presidents of the club, serving as Vice President of Videos and Commercials.
I also founded my own production company, Uncharted Productions, LLC, which provides filmmaking services (including commercials, documentaries, montages, and short videos) to individuals, local and international businesses, and charitable organizations, while also producing original projects.
