Personal Statement
From a young age, I’ve always loved creating things. Whether it was a short video, a class project, or just a memory caught on camera. In high school, I started filming and editing videos for my senior class, capturing the small moments that made that year so special. That feeling of creating something lasting and that connects people is what inspires me to produce films.
At Temple University, where I’m majoring in Film and Media Arts with a concentration in Producing, I’ve learned how much I thrive in collaboration. I love being the person who helps ideas take shape, brings people, stories, and creative energy together to make something real. I've gained confidence and found great fulfillment during these processes.
As an Asian American filmmaker, I’m especially drawn to stories that highlight different cultures, talents, and identities, films that uplift and celebrate. I want to create work that helps people see themselves, or see others in a new light. In my current role at Solidarity Media Network, I serve as a Digital Engagement Producer, where I develop social media content and connect with communities serving system-impacted individuals.
I’m also expanding my skillset into music production and entrepreneurship. I’m still learning and experimenting, but that’s what excites me most. Every project is a chance to create something that connects, inspires, and reminds people why stories and art matter.
