I have a variety experience writing academically, for the stage, and for other forms of media. It was my first passion in the arts, as I have been writing since I was in elementary school for a variety of writing contests and for fun. Since then, I have been developing my skills for novel-form writing and poetry, but have also dabbled in script-writing for the stage. I have now co-written a short film, and I have absolutely loved watching my work come to life recently in V-Day's Raise the Vibration: Through the Cracks. I'm excited to write for V-Day's next show as well.
Writer and Stage Manager
V-Day, San Diego State University, 2026
I was completely in tears when I found out my writing works, a monologue and a scene, had been accepted into this student-written, student-directed, and student-produced production. Being able to stage manage and watch my pieces grow over the course of the production was an added joy to the process.

Submission for FIRST Robotics Competition's Digital Animation Award (2022-2023)
When members of my team and I sat together to discuss what we wanted to animate, we immediately decided that we wanted it to be a hopeful story with a cozy and quirky art style. It was such a joy to design the backgrounds of each scene and flush out the world in this animation, and then to create an upbeat and whimsical score to replace any voice acting.
