Summary

I am a hardworking 16-year-old teenager who is adept to working in various areas of interests. Through working on various film projects and in my short, yet heavily learned time as a TV show project consultant and producer, I have assumed various skills and knowledge to the workings within the film industry. I have an immense passion for film, doing everything I can to work on various film projects whenever the opportunity presents itself. I am also skilled in team collaboration and advanced problem-solving, known for fostering adaptability in dynamic environments, such as through my time at Kumon of Merrick (North America). Moreover, I am adept at leading teams to meet changing needs and drive project success whilst applying a creative and analytical approach to operations for continuous process improvement.

Affiliations

  • Kumon of Merrick

UCLA Film and Television Summer Institute 2024

Completed a rigorous three-week course at the University of California Los Angeles where I attended classes and learned skills regarding how to write a teaser for a TV show pilot episode. During this time, I developed my own TV show idea and wrote a teaser with the skills acquired during the program. This teaser was then read/performed by actors in front of a large in-person audience in St. James Theater on the UCLA premise. It is here that I acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to become a TV show project consultant and producer for preproduction work with Lori Mirabal, my employer in this particular area. I learned how to improve time management, improve my collaboration abilities in a group setting, and how to share ideas effectively amongst peers whilst receiving constructive criticism.
