About
My journey in film started with my high school morning news show, led me to the UNC School of the Arts, and has had dozens of starts and stops along the way. I prioritize opportunities that will satisfy my innate curiosity, my passion for storytelling, and my deep-seated need to create.

Why is Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper my favorite film?
First, the animated Barbie movies were a staple during my childhood, so a large part of this choice is driven by nostalgia.
Second, even after growing into an adult and learning more about singing and music theory, the songs in Princess and the Pauper still hold up as well-written, wildly entertaining, and musically compelling.
Third and most importantly, I got tired of the pretentious mindset of film people trying to prove that they're the most cultured by name-dropping progressively more obscure and artsy films that only "real" lovers of film would know. Love of art shouldn't be reduced to competition. All forms of appreciation are valid and should be celebrated, not just those deemed the "most serious". Princess and the Pauper is fun, silly, genuinely funny, and entertaining, and represents the playful joy and excitement I want to fill my life with.
