The Profit

About

Growing up meant building worlds — LEGO’s, marine ecosystems, curated playlists, the blueprint of a hilarious joke. What connected all of it was storytelling.

Currently a junior at Washington University in St. Louis, studying Film & Media Studies with a concentration in Production and dual-majoring in Entrepreneurship. The work spans documentary, narrative, and digital content — from interviewing high-profile subjects on camera to directing a cast and crew of ten, to founding a viral esports content brand from scratch.

Beyond film, my curiosity runs wild — published research in marine science, a TED-Ed talk on Laplace’s Demon, top 0.01% of all Valorant players in North America. The throughline is always the same: find something worth understanding, then find the most honest and compelling way to make someone else feel and understand it too.
