Respectfully living and working on unceded and occupied Coast Salish territories, specifically, the ancestral lands of the Lekwungen speaking peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, the lands of the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nation and the T'Souke First Nation.

I am an independent filmmaker who has been working on music videos, short films, and collaborative interdisciplinary works for the past 4 years.

In its more contemplative efforts, my work seeks to open up culturally and individually held narratives through visual language. Film and video are mediums that engage a wide breadth of senses and depend upon the collaborative weaving of sound, story, light, and so much more.

In addition to my independent film work, I am a Master’s student in Economics at UVic, a Board member and founder of the Victoria Short Film Festival, and a photographer using both digital and 35mm.
