I first realized I wanted to be a filmmaker my junior year in high school. I was watching a film, admiring its creation, when I realized that this is something I want to do for the rest of my life. I've always been someone who was deeply involved in the arts; I've written short stories, created music, painted/drew art. I knew I wanted a career in  this field. Yet, I also wanted to be out of the box. I wanted a career that could allow me to combine all of these art forms and express myself. Entering college, I discovered that I have a natural talent in filmmaking. Studying some of the greatest directors in history has made me want to be the best director I can be, in hopes of being one of the “greats” one day. I want my films to teach and inspire others about life, while creating a place for escape, and just from the daily routine.
