- Screenwriter
I am an award-winning filmmaker, writer, actor, director, and editor. Growing up I fell in love with movies and I have carried that passion for storytelling with me into university where I studied drama and film, and now into my career where I create short films ranging from thrillers/horrors to dramas to comedies, as well as music videos, documentaries, and live shows.
In 2022, I graduated from Queen's University with a media and performance production degree (theatre and film). Throughout high school and university I have done comedic and dramatic plays, musical theatre, medieval plays, immersive theatre, Improv and short films.
In high school I started writing screenplays in my writer's craft class. Since then, I have written, directed, produced, edited, and acted in several short films including Hunted (award-winning 2022), Desperate Measures (award-winning 2024), Bump (2022), Balance (post-production), and The Big Break (upcoming feature film). In 2025 I expanded to commercial work, collaborating with WKEY (an upcoming sportswear brand) in launching their first campaign that will be released in 2026.
I aim to tell profound stories with complex characters and original ideas. I love taking risks in my projects and I am constantly looking for new ways to tell stories. My screenplays and films vary in length and genre, including, but not limited to: thrillers, horrors, dramas, and comedies.
I enjoy working with equally passionate people and sharing ideas. I often find inspiration from what and who I see around me and of course imagining crazy, weird scenarios like any good storyteller.
