about me
I am a filmmaker, photographer and writer based in Kimberley, British Columbia. My work revolves around documenting unheard personal and environmental stories. I am currently the Director of Acquisitions, Scheduling and Original Programming at ChimeTV, America’s first AAPI cable channel delivered in English and passionate about ChimeTV’s mission is to celebrate AAPI culture, amplify AAPI voices, and increase AAPI representation.
My media career began over a decade ago; after honing a diverse skillset at Los Angeles Magazine (Writer), Trisko Talent (Assistant), and Drive Films (Script Development Coordinator), I embraced a nomadic lifestyle and launched my career as a freelance Writer/Screenwriter, Photographer, Filmmaker, and Social Media Marketing Specialist. My global clients include film producers, travel agencies, established brands, startups, resorts, photographers, and entrepreneurs.
In 2020, a screenplay I wrote called Vile & Sweet won Best Ghost Story at Horror Fest International. In 2021, I completed the Banff Centre Adventure Filmmakers’ Workshop and had the honour of sitting in the Banff Centre Mountain Film + Book Festival Photo Essay Competition Jury. I am also a proud recipient of L.A. TV Week’s 40 Under 40 Award.
