BIO

About Me

I am a San Francisco-based photographer and cinematographer majoring in Documentary Filmmaking at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, with a Themed Inquiry in Earth and Its Environment. My expected graduation date is May 2025.

 

I capture moments using various equipment, including my Canon EOS R6 Mark II and my Canon EOS 90D. Photography and videography serve as powerful mediums for me to convey my deep appreciation for the world and share it with others. 

​

My extensive travels, spanning 24 countries across Europe, Asia, and North America, have given me a profound understanding of the importance of being a well-informed global citizen. A passionate environmentalist since age seven, I make the environment the subject of my work. Through my art and writing, I aim to share my worldview and passion for raising awareness about critical environmental and social justice issues. My platform allows me to illuminate these issues for a wider audience.

​

During the summer of 2023, I had the privilege of interning with a production company, Rigel Moon, where I gained valuable experience in the film industry. I'm eager to continue my journey in the film industry.
