A Bit About Me
I believe we create empathy through stories and sensibilities. Combining my passion for art and film and my professional skill set, I have consolidated my audiovisual production and marketing knowledge. These skills have enabled me to bring to light challenging ideas for HBO Max, Pepsico, Reebok, and Goodyear, amongst others.
