Summary
My education at San Francisco State University provided me with the technical skills and creative foundation to thrive as a filmmaker—whether it was outlining stories, polishing scripts, or mastering the edit. This hands-on experience, combined with a deep understanding of film history from City College, has given me a unique appreciation for the classic techniques that influence modern cinema. My passion for film began as a way to navigate personal challenges, and it has since evolved into a professional drive to create projects I am truly proud of
