About me

Hello! I’m a 22-year-old filmmaker with a deep love for animals, nature, and storytelling. My heart feels most at home in the wild. From as far back as I can remember, animals have been a huge part of my life. They sparked my curiosity, shaped my imagination, and gently guided me toward filmmaking.

I aspire to be a wildlife documentary filmmaker because there is something incredibly powerful about witnessing nature in its raw and untouched form. Whether it is walking through dense forests, standing quietly near rivers, diving into clear blue waters, or observing the smallest details of animal behavior, I find meaning in those quiet and magical moments. Through my camera, I want to share those stories that remind us how beautiful, fragile, and interconnected our world truly is.

At the same time, I am deeply in love with fiction filmmaking. Fiction gives me the freedom to imagine, explore emotions, and tell stories that come from within. I am fascinated by how films can make people feel seen, understood, and connected, even to people and worlds they have never known. While wildlife films connect us to the planet, fiction films allow me to explore the human heart, our fears, hopes, dreams, and contradictions.

My goal is to create films that do not just look beautiful, but also mean something. Stories that stay with people and gently push them to care more about nature, about each other, and about the future we are shaping.
