My approach to filmmaking is rooted in humanitarianism, and a life-long dedication to learning. My goal as a filmmaker is to tell stories that express the true narrative of our social impact. I see tremendous value in exploring interpersonal connections and the many ways in which we can understand perspectives through experience and circumstance.
