Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
After living and working in NYC for the past 5 years, I'm starting a new chapter in France in hopes of fulfilling a few dreams.
ABOUT ME
I am marveled by almost anything and curious about others and the world we live in. You'll find me quite an optimistic person, a sense of humor that is all over the place and able to indulge in life's simplicities.
PHILOSOPHY
I like walking into the unknown having those moments that are made purely based on feeling, the present and the trust you have in yourself and in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
Nonfiction, I love reading autobiographies and words about personal experiences and the path that makes one's life. I've gotten into magic realism lately and short fiction by latin american writers.Directors and films are synonymous for me, infatuated with Milos Forman, Krzyzstof Kieslwoski, Pedro Almodovar and Ingmar Bergman.

Teach, Learn, Share
I genuinely enjoy teaching and working with children through games and life experience... I only hope that I keep living with the soul of my inner child. I also take pleasure in sharing my knowledge of film and filmmaking. Let's tell a story together...
