I am a storyteller at heart, originally from Pleasanton, California, practicing my craft as a journalist, poet, and filmmaker with a deep passion for sharing impactful stories and uplifting my community. I live for human-interest documentaries that dive deep into the messy yet beautiful threads that tie us together. If my work sparks empathy, reflection, or even just a pause to see someone beyond title, status and ego—that’s the mission.

In 2021, I took a leap of faith and moved to Bend, Oregon, to join NewsChannel21 as a reporter, eventually stepping into the role of the weekday morning news anchor. My journey into the news industry was driven by a desire to understand people and find ways to truly help them. Now, I’m channeling that same drive and curiosity into filmmaking—using the lens not just to report stories, but to create connections, foster empathy, and inspire change through storytelling. My studies in Sociology ignited a curiosity in me about the "why" behind our actions, both as individuals and as communities. That curiosity continues to shape my work today, as I strive to build a platform that sparks lasting change.
