Learning, Honing & Sharpening

Began film studies at Scottsdale Community College’s prestigious program, then earned a BFA from Chapman University. Expanded expertise through AFI, UCLA, Loyola Marymount, USC, and selected California community college film programs, studying producing, directing, writing, editing, musicality, and production. Continued refining my craft through advanced workshops and professional programs, including Masterclass, Stage 32, DOV Simmens, and Film Industry Workshop, gaining skills in camera operation, wardrobe, set design, casting, marketing, finance, accounting, performance, and other aspects of the industry to develop a well-rounded understanding of film production. Completed a graduate degree at University of La Verne in [non-film field], supporting broader professional development.
