About

Aspiring screenwriter and director who studied at Northwestern University. As a filmmaker, I aim to create impactful stories that shine a light on cultural, social, and economic issues around the globe. My most recent documentary film "The Beauty of Other Things" followed a young woman's struggle with grief after the loss of her lover. It was showcased at the 2023 Annual Conference of the Korean Psychology Association and was a finalist in the Korean International Short Film Festival. My technical proficiencies include an advanced knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro, proficiency in After Effects, and an extensive knowledge of DSLR cameras.
