More about me!

My most recent employment at Stanford Sierra Camp as a professional photographer made me a grittier worker, more flexible creative, more vibrant version of myself. I was able to thrive in my resilience as I was determined to produce my best work whether the task was creating a slideshow for the end of every week at camp, capturing memories during family portraits, or making beds during housekeeping.

My previous professional roles have been focused on empowerment, motivation, and teamwork as a camp counselor and assistant coach. While I’m a classically trained artist of 10 years, in the past few years I discovered my deep passion for screenwriting and I’ve been hooked since then. Over the past year I’ve written, directed, and/or produced over 10 projects.

I take pride in my humor, kindness, follow-through, creativity, and enthusiasm. I’m also a bisexual woman, so queer perspective, self discovery, and fluidity are a through line in much of my work. Another recurring theme of mine is connection, family, and how to cope with laughter since my family is grieving my dad’s ALS diagnosis and continuous journey with his terminal illness. Because of my background, I bring fresh perspectives on time and place with an emphasis on the elusivity of the “now.” My work aims to unveil truths about growing with grief, to question social norms, and to tell atypical stories about atypical people.

Awards & Recognition

  • Item description

  • The Boothe Prize is awarded to first year students at Stanford in the writing and rhetoric program for exemplary writing and exploratory research. I was nominated for my research paper on how queerness is able to dismantle the male gaze by defying gender and sexuality norms, focusing on queer allegory and the male gaze in Stranger Things.

  • This award is earned by students at Woodside Priory who demonstrate deep understanding, proficiency, and appreciation for the language they are learning. I earned this award for Spanish, largely in part for my detailed analyses of Spanish literature during the era of Romanticism.

  • This award is given to student-athletes who demonstrate extreme dedication, sportsmanship, skill, and leadership within their sport. I earned this award as team captain for varsity volleyball at my school where I led in offensive and defensive statistics, and helped our team cultivate a community, even though it was not our most competitive season.

  • Students who earn this award are competitive, critical, and creative artists who demonstrate intense drive in their medium. I won this award for my AP Art Portfolio which focused on unspoken social norms regarding gender and sexuality, and specifically how they affect LGBTQIA+ youth.

  • Priorities Magazine is Woodside Priory’s art magazine. My work titled “Miss Daisy” was selected for the 2021 issue.

  • The Wellesley College Book Award is earned by a young woman who shine as strong leaders on and off their campuses. This award also recognizes academic excellence and a passion for social justice. Being a founder of 2 voter registration organizations, an active advocate for social change, a leader on the volleyball court, and high-achieving student, my school selected me as the recipient of this award.
