WHO IS THAT BUM?
Hello! I am a rising senior student at Rutgers University, pursuing B.A. in English with a minor in Creative Writing. I'm passionate about storytelling and filmmaking, and I'd love to collaborate with people on creative projects!
MY WORK
I take photos on my phone and DSLR and edit them, but I also have experience in video editing and creative writing by myself and in creative teams.

PHOTOGRAPHY
VIDEO EDITING
An experimental short film that Viach, a friend and artist, and I shot and edited together for her art account.
There's a passage from the novelization of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover that describes Darth Vader's thoughts and emotions as he is being suited up for the first time. I read that here with a video edit I made to go along with it, and I used audio editing effects on my voice. Editing exercise for my class Digital Storytelling.
A video essay I wrote and edited for my class Words About Music, analyzing Have a Nice Life's album Deathconsciousness. I talk about the relentless nihilism of the album's writing and atmosphere, and my struggle with fully appreciating that lack of hope in it.
WRITING
Collaborative Projects
I am currently on the development team as a writer for a visual novel game called Please I’m Begging You, headed by my good friend and musician Lilith. We have completed a demo of the game, and we are currently development. I have also collaborated with Lilith on writing voice lines for an upcoming album of hers. We’re very confident about this project, and for both the album and for Please I’m Begging You, we’ve worked with the voice actors Dottovu and Lenval Brown.
