About
I'm currently an undergraduate student at Pasadena City College, aiming to transfer next fall. I grew up primarily in the U.K., attending boarding school in southern Britain and colleges in London, with holidays spent traveling around Europe and Asia. From an early age, I have been fascinated by how Motion Picture Arts shape our perception of the world and how the Aerospace industry impacts our daily lives. Despite the challenges I've faced, I've had the opportunity to engage in both fields. Interestingly, my experience in one has often benefited the other, for instance, my screenwriting and film editing skills helped me secure an internship with NASA. Consistent in my goals since childhood, I hope to make a meaningful contribution during my time here and positively impact future generations.

Their synergistic effect is unparalleled, particularly in business, marketing and sales. My objective in studying sciences is to discover alternative solutions through research that address challenging everyday issues, while leveraging the arts to raise awareness and foster understanding. I am committed to continuing my education and plan to study through to a PhD.

Event / Film Production
With over a decade of global experience in Event and Film Production, I've worked across diverse roles—from acting and costumes to assistant directing and producing—on over 2500 film, TV, and commercial sets. Due to the industry's contract-based nature and frequent overlap, pinpointing exact dates is challenging. I often found myself on a different set every few days, and occasionally even balancing two sets in one day, a rarity in the field.
