I am an internationally award-winning filmmaker interested in the intersection of research, education, animation, and video production. Most recently, I received a US-UK Fulbright scholarship to spend three weeks studying film at Lancaster University in the UK. Earlier this year, I created an animated explainer video about the relevance of family business in the US. In May, I presented this animation for the Congressional Family Business Caucus at the US Capitol.
My narrative film, "Strawberry Shakes", was awarded first place and judge's choice at the 2023 WHYY Youth Media Awards in Philadelphia. My documentary, "Origins of the Feminine Hygiene Industry" was a 2023 finalist at the All-American High School Film Festival (AAHSFF). A stop-motion animation I co-created, titled, "Dams: Pros & Cons", was nationally awarded in 2022 by the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards at Carnegie Hall. My scientific explainer video, "Can Trees Communicate?" -- which discussed mycorrhizal networks and their potential uses in improving global food security -- was a finalist in Khan Academy’s 2020 Breakthrough Junior Challenge, a global video competition.
My work has been presented in film festivals such as the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY), Anim Arte (Brazil), Busan International Kids and Youth Film Festival, and the Student World Impact Film Festival.
