Producer/Director/CREATIVE

Born on Guam and raised in Hawaii, I now call Los Angeles home. I have a BA in Film from the University of Hawaii, and I’ve spent my career telling stories that reflect real people and real experiences. I’m a visual storyteller and a versatile creative—someone who can shape narratives across formats, whether that’s video, digital, or social. Culture has always been central to my work. As a person of color, I see it not as an add-on, but as the starting point for how I approach storytelling and connect with an audience..

CAREER Over the past sixteen years in LA, I’ve worked my way from production assistant to Producer, wearing a lot of hats along the way—editor, director, strategist. I’ve created with companies like Angel City Football Club (named Sports Business Journal’s “Team of the Year”), Playboy, Bellator MMA, Viacom, and the cannabis startup ISLAND. During the last decade, I have deepened my focus on digital and social marketing, where I’ve honed how to tell bold stories that still feel grounded—ones that live where culture, identity, and community intersect
