I graduated from California State University Monterey Bay with a B.A. in Cinematic Arts and Technology in 2022. Throughout my time at CSUMB, my knowledge of cinema has grown as I have learned its history, techniques, theories, and production process. I currently work as a video editor at a skydiving facility in Monterey, (the world’s highest tandem at 18,000 feet!) where I am able to apply what I learned in my courses in a professional setting.  I enjoy watching films and have developed a deeper understanding on what makes a film a masterpiece. I find it important to look beyond the boundaries of just talented acting and an interesting storyline, but to pay attention to the lighting, sound design, music score, and editing in film. ​In addition to filmmaking, art is a passion of mine that I enjoy doing during my free time. I began with simple pencil drawings that ultimately lead to digital art and oil paintings that consisted of portraits, landscapes, and still life. I also use film as inspiration as it allows me to explore different themes, color tones, settings, and different personalities to incorporate into my art.
