About

Hi! I dream of working in films and making sure they are seen profitably by as many people as possible. I'm a Writer-Director and Creative Producer with experience across development, production, and post. I last worked at Revolio Media, focusing on IP development and non-fiction storytelling, with an emphasis on documentary-led content in the sports and culture space. Experienced in building decks, managing timelines, and shaping narratives in collaboration with writers and directors. Previously a Senior Creative Associate at Supari Studios, where I worked across pitches, ideation, shoots, and post-production for brands including Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Swiggy. Began as a production intern and grew into a full-time creative role, developing a strong foundation in end-to-end content execution. As a filmmaker, I have directed multiple short films and am the youngest person funded by Netflix’s Take Ten initiative to make a pilot. We created a science fiction dystopian pilot. It is one of my proudest moments. My work is grounded in research-driven storytelling, with a focus on long-form narratives and documentary. Currently developing a personal documentary exploring sudden hearing loss.
