I’m a writer and filmmaker based in Miami. I didn’t take a straight path here. I dropped out of film school, played in bands, answered a Craigslist ad, and ended up working on boats throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean. That stretch taught me how to work under pressure, deal with strong personalities, and keep things moving when there’s no clear roadmap.

​

Eventually, I went back to school for film, where my thesis short swept the Miami Film Festival’s CinemaSlam awards and was licensed by PBS. Since then, I’ve directed and produced work that’s screened at SXSW, DOC NYC, and the Miami International Film Festival. I’ve made a feature documentary (South Beach Shark Club), adapted memoirs into screenplays, produced branded and educational content, and I’m currently enrolled in UCLA’s Professional Screenwriting Program.

​Beyond the films themselves, I’ve led creative and marketing efforts to get work seen. For South Beach Shark Club, that meant building a grassroots campaign that included a 70-foot mural, press on WLRN, a cover feature in Miami New Times, and sustained social and video content that helped drive audience engagement and distribution. I’ve also produced a multi-episode educational series that generated seven figures in revenue and landed a client in Forbes.

​

My work lives in the space where imagination meets structure. I take ideas in motion—early sparks, loose threads, stories still becoming—and shape them into narratives with clarity, rhythm, and purpose. I’m comfortable making decisions before everything is clear, trusting instinct while applying craft, and refining in motion. From the page, to the edit, to release, I see it through with intention.
