Summary

Always had a lot of interest in how people's mind work, creating alternative realities, creating all forms of art and producing content.

Studied Psychology in college.

Pursued interest in philosophy, arts, music, movie, music video making, story writing, script writing during college years by taking elective classes, workshops, online movies, volunteer work.

Wrote thought provoking, outside the box subjects during school years and got essays landed on some of the local newspapers receiving good feedback.

During college years also worked on solo music career as an artist.

Wrote and produced music, designed outfits, produced videos, collaborated with editors & hired teams, actors, monitored post production editing, coloring, learned how to edit myself as well and used very little budget for it all.

One of the music videos got rewarded as the best expressionist and career defining music video by London Music Video Festival in 2021. Although had no previous education on these subjects and despite industry professionals in video production telling me not to waste my efforts, primarily due to having very little budget to hire others, I started to educate myself with online videos. My skills were enough to arrange all of these projects on very low budget and still receive great feedback on press, festivals.

After graduation, moved to Ohio and to Los Angeles.

Worked in various temporary jobs at cafes, restaurants etc. until ending up getting hired as a Behavior Therapist at McRory Pediatrics.
