Multimedia creator
As a creative, I believe in nurturing and staying connected to our inner child to bring about our playful imaginations to life. Even as an adult, I strive to maintain a sense of childlike wonder and letting it flourish through my multimedia journey every day.
ABOUT ME
At the age of 11, I stumbled upon an app on the family iPad called “iMovie”. Little did I know, this ignited a fire within me, a passion for multimedia. But then that didn't start with iMovie—it began with music.
As a child, I was captivated by the power of music like literally any genre or any song that is a magnet to my soul. Each note, each melody, opened a gateway to a world of my imagination.
I channeled this into my everyday life growing up from singing in the school choir to performing in countless school plays. Everywhere I went, music was my constant companion and still is, inspiring me to create and innovate.
Then came iMovie. Suddenly, I had a new canvas for my imagination, a screen through which I could bring them to life. Every image, every color, and every story in my head, I could let people see those through a screen. Then my multimedia journey cultivated from there.
I graduated from Waipahu High School in the Academy of Arts & Communications in 2019, and continued on my journey at the University of Hawai'i at West O'ahu. I am a graduate of the Academy for Creative Media Program in the General Creative Media concentration, and I am looking forward to continue my journey in multimedia.
