Digital Media Narrator.  Socio Cultural Anthropologist.

As showrunner, I’m writing, acting, producing, and directing a limited miniseries that lives both on-screen and online. Designed for accessibility and shaped by constraint, this series rethinks form through bottle episodes, lo-fi aesthetics, and platform-conscious storytelling. By blending narrative with media critique, I’m crafting something raw, reflective, and real—where every frame is a choice, and every limitation is a tool.

As Road Media Department Supervisor at Kids Artistic Revue’s Ultra Dance Competition, I lead the delivery of a groundbreaking innovation: turning every dancer’s moment into a cinematic memory. In 2024, KAR began including full photo and video packages for all families—a shift that redefined how dance is archived and celebrated. I oversee this transformation from the ground up, managing crews, systems, and workflows to ensure that media delivery meets the same standard of excellence as the performances themselves.

It’s All About Thee AAWWWTTTT!!!: Ballroom, Cinematics, and Cultural Legacy In collaboration with Hauser & Wirth and the House of AWT Project, I helped bring LA’s first Exhibition Vogue Ball to life—onstage and onscreen. As Creative Consultant and Cinematographer, I shaped the event’s visual identity and co-produced a documentary capturing Ballroom as a living archive of movement, resistance, and joy. This project fused fashion, film, and facilitation to uplift Black and Brown LGBTQIA+ brilliance and archive a legacy still in motion.

From serving popcorn to managing brand culture from its inception, I’ve helped grow Chicago’s only drive-in movie theater into more than a pandemic pivot—restoring the drive-in to its former glory as a vibrant city hub. As Marketing and Community Manager, I cultivate connections between the screen and the streets, building audiences, curating content, and turning open-air cinema into an open invitation for joy.

As Junior Class President and Student Rep on the Local School Council, I stepped into leadership during a turning point. Our school was under national scrutiny for its dress code and punitive discipline—and students were done being silenced. I helped organize sit-ins, led walkouts, and brought our demands to the table. What followed was real change: community organizing, student voice, and ultimately the removal of a principal whose policies harmed us. Schools on Their Own is a testament to youth power, public education, and what happens when students take control of the narrative.

This ongoing archive gathers films from my time in film school—a living record of how media can move us, challenge us, and carry us forward. Each piece experiments with how critique, analysis, and theory can live inside narrative form without losing heart. From experimental shorts to character-driven scenes, these works ask: what happens when we let authenticity lead? When we make stories that see us, know us, and speak to us? Video Is the Vehicle is where politics meets plot, and where filmmaking becomes a form of public thinking.

From years of tension to a community-centered transformation, this page documents a youth-led initiative that redefined public safety, celebration, and care in Hyde Park. As a lead organizer and youth facilitator, I helped shape an approach rooted not in surveillance—but in presence, prevention, and cultural connection.

This multimedia installation reimagines the 2019 Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU strike through a mashup of archival grit and creative remix. For 11 school days, educators and staff shut it down—and this project tells that story like you’ve never seen it. Featuring real strike artifacts, mockumentary-style video art, and a parody reality TV format, Side-by-Side CTU blurs the line between fact and farce to capture the spirit, strategy, and spectacle of collective action. It’s both homage and critique—a love letter to labor, laced with sharp wit and working-class imagination.

This experimental video collage dives into the in-between—twilight as both atmosphere and metaphor. Inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s “entre le chien et le loup” and W.E.B. Du Bois’ double consciousness, Look at My African weaves together media fragments: Trump’s racialized rhetoric, footage of George Floyd, Obama’s speeches, and LeBron’s silencing. Through layered video, distorted sound, and manipulated images, I explore how marginalized Black and Indigenous people are cast into the shadows—children of the night who fight for daylight. This work asks what it means to exist between visibility and erasure, survival and resistance, the dog and the wolf.

This collection pulls from the trenches of film school—where technique met trial and error, and homework quietly became art. Film Academia features short video experiments sparked by class prompts and tight deadlines, where constraint pushed creativity and theory met the timeline. Whether it’s lighting tests, blocking drills, or concept sketches, each piece captures a moment when practice turned personal. This archive isn’t polished—it’s process. A reminder that even in a classroom, the work was already saying something.

Urban Production is a student-founded media collective and production company dedicated to interdisciplinary storytelling at the intersection of culture, identity, and innovation. Launched in 2023 at Pomona College, Urban Production serves as both a creative studio and a pedagogical space — producing original work, mentoring emerging artists, and centering historically excluded voices in film and digital media. From narrative shorts and experimental docs to collaborative live events, Urban Production operates with a hybrid ethic: blending professional-grade production with a generative learning environment. The work pushes form and intention, turning every project into both a story and a statement.
