About me

I’m a producer, director and a photographer based in Paris. I grew up in Chicago to French parents and finally moved to France in 2021 to pursue my long-lived dream of working in the film industry while rediscovering my French roots.

My dream is to create engaging and compelling stories that can help uplift communities and give a voice to those who may otherwise not have one. The projects I conceptualise focus on creating stylised worlds in which societal issues are challenged.

Projects I’ve worked on have premiered at the Cesar Awards, Sundance Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Berlin Commercial, Aesthetica Short Film Festival and ARFF International Awards.

My personal hobbies include painting, running, cycling and cooking.
