I eventually gravitated towards film scoring. In 2021, I attended a premiere for my first feature film score. Seeing my music and the film affect the audience, moving them to tears at times, I became drawn to filmmaking..

At Stanford, I studied computer science and brought brand storytelling to the startups and the products I built. My biggest accomplishment was growing my sports analytics startup to $12,000 in MRR through organic TikTok. This made me realize how powerful storytelling can be.

Since then, I've sought experiences to learn about the entertainment industry, interning for Paramount, CBS sports, and Disney, growing a milk brand to become the most followed milk brand on social media, directing a 30 minute short film for my senior arts thesis, and publishing a children's journal that teaches kindness.

I want to tell stories professionally - film scores, creative marketing, artistic projects - in service missions that make a positive impact on the world.
