I was born in Columbus, Ohio, but moved to South Bend, Indiana, when I was 3 years old. My formative years were centered around being exposed to the arts at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at the University of Notre Dame. With my father being the creative director, I had the opportunity from a young age to see art from different perspectives, scopes, and points of view.

But when I moved to Granville, Ohio, in the 5th grade, the transition was hard. I didn’t really thrive in the science and math favoring environment at my school. I struggled to fit in and was often left out or not included, whether that was in class, on the soccer field, or outside of school. And many people judged me for my individualistic lifestyle and for pursuing the arts.

Over my four years of high school, I attended the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp three times, received seven Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Awards for my stop motion animation films, created a large collection of work that I’m proud of, and even painted a large scale mural at a local Mexican restaurant, Day Y Noche, by myself.

But despite everything, there were still people who overlooked my talent, my worth, and what I had to offer, not just as an artist but as a person.

So, to my family and close friends who have supported me throughout this journey, I am beyond grateful for all the love and encouragement you have given me.

And to everyone who judged, criticized, and directly or indirectly insulted me: you only served as fuel for me to keep going. I’m very excited to continue my journey at Chapman University, where I’ll be studying Film and Television Production with an emphasis in Cinematography.
