PERSONAL WORK

SAMPLES

Videography has become both my creative outlet and a powerful way to connect with others. Through my YouTube channel, I consistently challenge myself to grow as a filmmaker, editor, and content strategist. It’s a space where I explore narrative-driven visuals, experiment with style and pacing, and build authentic connections with an audience. This personal work allows me to blend storytelling, emotion, and strategy—while continuously pushing my creative limits.

After a hectic few months, my brother invited me to travel all the way to the Philippines with him. I had only been out of the country once before, to the Cayman Islands, so I had no idea what to expect. It is safe to say I experienced a bit of a culture shock at first, but it quickly wore off. The title of this video accurately describes how impactful this trip was to me; it quite literally did change my life. It opened up my eyes to how big the world is, at a time so desperately needed. Getting to experience an entirely different way of life and culture, brought me out of a period of feeling stuck and I will be forever grateful for this trip.

Traveling to the Philippines truly changed my life for the better. As I age, I realize the most important things in this life are the little thing, whether that is singing in the car with loved ones, a nice meal, or a sunny day; that is what makes life super special. It is easy to take the small things like that for granted and immersing myself into the Filipino culture, reminded me of that. It was such a blessing.

Sometimes in life it is easy to forget the true meaning of it all, especially when going through hardships. I created this film at a period of time in my life where I was struggling with my physical health and found myself constantly questioning what the point to life was if I was physically struggling. I wanted to portray a character development through film about someone who is unhappy and questioning everything, to finally realize that they were missing the point all along; simply getting the opportunity to exist, even in the hard times.

This video includes one of the coolest adventures I have ever been on. My brother and I flew from Cebu City to Coron Island in the Philippines. In Coron, we got to explore the beautiful island on a boat tour and we also got to hike Mount Tapyas. Ending our Philippine trip climbing to the top of Mount Tapyas felt symbolic, all of the hardships in life motivated me to go to the Philippines in the first place, so when I reached the top of that mountain, I realized how worth all that struggle was. It was such a surreal experience.

Sometimes in life we forget how important it is to treat ourselves with kindness and patience. When we treat ourselves poorly, we are also treating our inner child poorly. I made this video as a reminder that when you stop following your heart and you stop pursuing your passions, then you are also disregarding your inner child's dreams and passions. So this video was meant to remind others to follow their heart, and to do it for your younger self.

The older I get, I witness people who forget to live life, forget their inner youth. This is a music video I made right after I turned 22. I wanted this video to symbolize, without the use of words, that just because you are aging, does not mean you have to necessarily "grow up". In my short experience on this earth, I have witnessed too many people who forget to just simply live life. When you are young, the world seems like it has endless opportunities, but as you age, you tend to stop dreaming and stop living life. All in all, I wanted this video to remind everyone that despite your age, you still are that little kid at heart, and it is important to live that way sometimes.

PHOTOGRAPHY

In addition to digital media, I’ve developed skills in photography and basketball. I played competitive basketball from childhood through college, eventually transitioning into part-time coaching and training. I’ve also captured photos for graduations, sporting events, and personal milestones. Whether on the court or behind the camera, I enjoy supporting others and helping them reach their goals.

SELF PORTRAITS

BASKETBALL

Basketball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
Beyond the game itself, it’s taught me discipline, teamwork, time management, and how to lead under pressure. Every practice, win, and loss shaped my work ethic and resilience — lessons I carry into every project I take on.

WHERE CURIOSITY TOOK ME

Traveling has taught me more than just geography— it’s given me perspective.
From filming in remote towns to editing stories across cultures, each trip sharpened my creativity, independence, and adaptability.
I travel not to escape, but to connect — and those connections shape the stories I tell.
