PS: My formal resume is below because I do take myself seriously sometimes 🤓
I started creating videos in 2015 when my friends and I filmed a music video using a navy blue sheet, a cheap work light from the hardware store, and my parent’s garage.
About a year later, I moved to Shanghai and started working my first corporate job. I quit in less than two months after realizing it wasn't for me.
Armed with a camera, a laptop, and the knowledge I had from making videos with my friends, I decided to pursue my passion. That landed me a job as the in-house director of photography for a production company.
After four years there, I decided to move back to California to join as Creative Director at YouthBeat, a non-profit in Oakland creating media career pathways for diverse storytellers.
