Growing up in a family of musicians, I was fortunate to have my creativity nurtured from an early age. While music was my first love, my interests expanded as I got older. My dad even gave me a small black-and-white camcorder long before vlogs became a trend. I used it to create stories starring my toys, and rambled about whatever nerdy obsession was consuming my mind at the time.

When the camera was off, I was either playing Nintendo games or acting out my own animated shows filled with action, superpowers, and plenty of family drama. In my head, I was creating the next Dragon Ball Z—but in reality, I was just flailing around the living room making "whoosh" noises. You learn to get creative as an only child.

Then came YouTube. I was instantly hooked. I spent hours watching a wide variety of videos and saved my favorites to share with friends, who did the same.

At 18, I left my quiet hometown in New Jersey for Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of working across content creation, social media, animation, gaming, and music—honing both my creative and analytical skills to bring meaningful projects into the world. It feels like everything has come full circle.

Looking ahead, I hope to combine the skills I've developed so far and collaborate with amazing teams to inspire the next generation of kids flailing around their living rooms just like I once did.
